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)!

Weird Love

Volume 1

YOUNG BRIDES "Wait for the Doctor!"

Are newlyweds truly ready to handle "for better or worse"?

The answer may lie behind this totally-unrelated stock photo cover (despite the misleading caption) in a never-reprinted story from Prize's Young Brides #2 (1952)!

Written by Natalie Krigstein, penciled by Mort Meskin, and inked by George Roussos.

Though written by a woman (and a married one, at that), it feels a bit patronizing about Jeanie and her feelings and expectations in the marriage!
