Halloween HeartBreak WITCHING HOUR "ComputERRR!"

As this story from DC's The Witching Hour #8 (1970) proves...

...Artificial Intelligence doesn't provide all the answers...or even knows the questions!
Scripted and illustrated by comics and animation legend Alex Toth, it's a classic example of "never judge a book by its' cover!"

Halloween HeartBreak SPEED CARTER "KIss of Death"

We originally intended to run this story around Valentine's Day...
...but after carefully re-reading it, you'll understand why we decided against it and ran it the day after Halloween!

This story of futuristic male/female relations from Atlas' Speed Carter: SpaceMan #6 (1954) was scripted (as were all Speed Carter tales throughout the series' run) by Hank Chapman, and illustrated (as were all Speed Carter tales in this issue) by Bob Forgione.

Halloween HeartBreak MISTER MYSTERY "All or Nothing at All!"

Mister Mystery was the host of his own self-titled horror anthology.
Though he looked like a jovial stage magician in a mask, his stories easily matched those of the Crypt Keeper and other ghoulish comics hosts..as you shall see!
For such an innocent-looking guy, Mister Mystery tells a nasty story, aided by illustrator Tom Feelings and an unknown author in this story from Stanley Morse's Mister Mystery #14, (1953)!

Halloween HeartBreak WITCHING HOUR! "I Married a Ghost"

Does True Love transcend the barriers between life and death?
Cover art by Nick Cardy
Or is it merely a delusion brought on by grief?
Judge for yourself...
Writer Murray Boltinoff (using a pen-name because he was the book's editor, and company policy dictated that editors didn't edit their own work) and artist Art Saff leave this story from DC's Witching Hour! #15 (1971) open-ended as to whether Jen's ghost actually exists or not.
What do you think?

Halloween HeartBreak WEIRD ADVENTURES "Seeker from Beyond"

Sometimes, a casual reader would think all comic book sci-fi is space opera...
Art by Phil Marini
...but it can also be a combination of dimensional travel, romance, and, yes, just a tiny bit of space opera...

See, just a little space opera..one panel!
Note: on the cover, Zada, the alien queen is brunette, while John's girlfriend Jane is blonde!
But in the story, Zada is blonde and Jane is brunette!
Both the writer and artist of this cover-featured tale from Ziff-Davis' Weird Adventures #10 (1951) are unknown!
Even the amazingly-extensive Comic Book DataBase can't identify them!
Cover artist Phil Marini did numerous pulp and paperback covers in every genre from Western to sci-fi to romance, but this is his only comic book work.

Halloween HeartBreak YOAKE NO VAMPIRE Conclusion

...in the conclusion of this manga adaptation of Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire!
Note: Since it's Japanese (though translated), read it right-to-left, not left-to-right as is standard for Western comics!
We hope you've enjoyed our re-presentation of this long out-of-print version of Anne Rice's seminal work.
Don't miss the currently-running mini-series on AMC and AMC+!
