Halloween HeartBreak HAUNTED LOVE "Richard"

We're Going Gothic This Week...

...with a never-reprinted tale from the longest-running gothic romance comic ever!

This story of deception and redemption from Charlton's Haunted Love #2 (1973), written by Nicola Cuti and illustrated by Joe Staton, show that true love can overcome even the greatest of obstacles...sometimes with a little spectral help!

Note: Haunted Love ran 11 issues, more than double any other gothic romance comic!

Halloween HeartBreak SUPERMAN'S GIRL FRIEND LOIS LANE "Witch of Metropolis"

This Scene Does Not  Occur in the Story Below...

...Sort Of!

Confused?

Well, you won't be after you witness the following astounding events...

Written by Otto Binder and illustrated by Kurt Schaffenberger (with some redrawing of Lois' face by either Ruben Moreira or Al Plastino), this story was popular enough to be reprinted in two of the legendary 80-Page Giants over the next decade, with its' second appearance in DC's Lois Lane #77-G39 (1967) putting it front-and-center of her weirdest tales!

Maybe we'll run "Ghost of Lois Lane!" next Halloween season!

Halloween HeartBreak MENACE "Fake!"

 Remember the old adage "Don't judge a book by it's cover"?

 Here's the codicil; "It goes both ways"!

Illustrated by Al Eadeh, this tale from Atlas' Menace #10 (1954) follows the classic trope of golddigger tripped up, not by her own greed, but by the fact her husband (who still loves her) is not even human!

Remember, the target audience for horror (as opposed to romance) comics was 8-14 year old boys, to whom girls were "yukky".

And for whom Lois Lane , the nosy reporter who was always trying to either expose Superman's secret identity or trick the Man of Steel into marrying her, was the typical woman!
