Halloween HeartBreak WEIRD THRILLERS "SandFlower of Venus"

Alien Worlds May  Have Potentially-Lethal Flora and Fauna...
...but every spacer knows the most dangerous creature in the Universe is...Man!
Or is it?
I take it back.
The most dangerous creature in the Universe is Woman!
This never-reprinted tale from Ziff-Davis' Weird Thrillers #1 (1951) was probably illustrated by a round-robin of Dan & Sy Barry, Murphy Anderson, and Frank Giacoia.
The writer is unknown, but may well be the editor, Jerry Siegel, who forever affected how pre-pubescent males thought of women with his creation of  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!

Countdown to Halloween 2016: WEIRD THRILLERS "Princess of the Sea"

Though the cover may not look like it, this is a love story...
Art by Allen Anderson
...so it's a perfect post to add to our Countdown to Halloween!
Well, it sure ain't Little Mermaid, or even Splash!
Penciled by Dan Barry and inked by John Giunta, the writer of this tale of love beneath the waves from Ziff-Davis' Weird Thrillers #3 (1952) is, sadly, unknown.
Note: when the story was reprinted in the 1990s Eclipse Comics anthology Weird Romance, it was again given the cover...
...also by an artist named "Anderson", but in this case it was Brent (no relation to Allen) Anderson!
 Next week:
We haven't decided yet what it'll be, but we can guarantee that...
You'll Cry Your Eyes Out if You Miss It!
(Oh, you've heard that, eh?)
