MARVEL TALES "Old Couple"

Though most horror comics tales (especially ones involving romance) are scary...

...this particular story of love eternal is surprisingly-sweet and poignant.

Illustrated by the versatile Sid Greene, this atypical tale from Atlas' Marvel Tales #132 (1955) is a gentle evocation of "true love".

Sadly, the writer is unknown.

Next week...

Our Annual Halloween presentation of spooky,  sci-fi, and Gothic romance tales concludes!

We haven't decided yet which tale it'll be, but we can guarantee that...

You'll Cry Your Eyes Out if You Miss It!

(Oh, you've heard that, eh?)

REACH FOR HAPPINESS Episode 2 Part 2

When Last We Left Karen..

Exiting Gregory's office, Karen ran into another long-unseen friend, Richy Smathers, a spoiled rich kid with a fondness for fast cars and disreagard for anyone in his path.

Richy brought Karen home, where her sister berated her for going to see Gregory.

Now let's look in on Gregory's fiance, Rita...

MYSTIC "She Won't Stay Dead!"

" 'Til Death Do Us Part..." takes on new meaning...

...in this tale of life, death, and reincarnation.

The Bill LaCava-illustrated tale from Atlas' Mystic #6 (1952) had a rather misleading cover...

...indicating Walter murdered Amanda, rather than carrying out her last wishes!

And the story doesn't explain who Elaine was before the statue was smashed, nor how the soul migrated into Elaine without a ceremony to guide it.

We Have Already Seen...

Karen Wilder Summers returns to the quiet town of Danville Corners, hoping to re-start her life after being haunted by tragedy.
