DARK MANSION OF FORBIDDEN LOVE "Grey Lady of Coburn Manor" Chapter Four: Hidden Room

...the home's owner, in the process of selling the centuries-old structure to a hotel chain, may be the latest victim of the ghostly Grey Lady...
Dark Mansion of Forbidden Love died with this issue, but was reborn as Forbidden Tales of Dark Mansion, a horror anthology that managed another eleven issues before, ahem, giving up the ghost!
Thank you for joining us for our annual "beach read" mini-marathon.
Be back each Wednesday for another classic romance comic tale!
Next Week...
We don't know yet what we'll present!
But, we can guarantee that...
You'll Cry Your Eyes Out if You Miss It!
(Yeah, we say that a lot...but it's true!)

DARK MANSION OF FORBIDDEN LOVE "Grey Lady of Coburn Manor" Chapter Three: Body in the Garden

Is a ghost responsible for the deaths at Coburn Manor since Suzanne Westwood and Brian Stevens arrived to assess the building's condition before the final sale to the hotel chain they work for?
While the terrifying situation has brought the co-workers' relationship to a more...intimate...level, the body count is climbing...
You may note the cover by Nick Cardy has Suzanne as a blonde instead of the bright red hair she hs inside!
It's possible the cover art was prepared and printed several months before the insides were colored and printed, so the editor might simply have lost track of the character's hair color...
Inker Vince Colletta was the "go-to" guy when a comic publisher needed a story inked fast, though some pencilers complained that, to meet tight deadlines, he would leave out art elements they had taken great efforts to include.
To be fair, his delicate linework was ideal for romance comics as the numerous examples we've posted HERE can attest.

DARK MANSION OF FORBIDDEN LOVE "Grey Lady of Coburn Manor" Chapter Two: Who is Walking on My Grave?

...notice how guys always say that to women who've just been scared out of their minds?
Penciler Ernesto Chan (aka Ernie Chan and Ernie Chua) was one of the wave of Filipino artists who worked in American comics from the early 1970s to the early 1990s.
Unlike most of his comtemporaries, he moved to the US and became a citizen.
Besides being DC's primary cover artist for several years, his best-known work was on the b/w Savage Sword of Conan.
