Halloween HeartBreak TALES CALCULATED TO DRIVE YOU BATS "Rocky the Stone Man"

Remember those Charles Atlas ads in comic books?

Let's see what happens when someone literally resculpts himself to win a girl!

While the artist of this tale from Archie's Tales Calculated to Drive You Bats #6 (1962) is unknown, the writer is George Gladir.

Archie Comics kept at least one MAD-style humor anthology going from the late 1950s (after MAD switched from four-color comic to black-and-white magazine) through the 1960s.

Though Tales Calculated to Drive You Bats! expired after only seven issues, it's sister title, Archie's Mad House (which initially-featured various Archie characters as hosts of the stories), survived to 1981!

Halloween HeartBreak YOUNG ROMANCE "Bonnie Taylor: Airline Stewardess in One Kiss Forever" Part 2

We Have Already Seen...

...depressed airline stewardess Bonnie Taylor, on layover in Scotland, drives into the Highlands, just in time for a local festival celebrating the mythical "Rising of Wee Kirk"!

But Wee Kirk actually appears, and she meets an incredibly-handsome resident of the time-lost town!

BTW, he's gone by the next issue, where Bonnie is implied to be a reincarnated Egyptian princess by a man seeming to be a lover who's followed her though the ages to the present day!

We'll save that one for next Halloween...

Gothic Tales of Haunted Love

Halloween HeartBreak YOUNG ROMANCE "Bonnie Taylor: Airline Stewardess in One Kiss Forever!" Part 1

Ever hear of Brigadoon?

It was a long-running Broadway musical, adapted into a major motion picture, about a mysterious Scottish village that appears in our dimension for a couple of days once a century, then disappears again, taking anybody within it's boundaries with it!
There was a recent AppleTV mini-series musical parodying it...Schmigadoon...

...which was equally-good, if not better (but somewhat snarky)!

Anyway, that concept is the basis for this haunted tale about the eternally-searching for love Bonnie Taylor: Airline Stewardess...

Just thought we'd mention it, for historical context...

They just don't write (or draw) 'em like that anymore!

You just know this moment of passionate pleasure is going to be followed by tragedy...as you'll see...

TOMORROW!

(You didn't think we'd make you wait a week...did you!)

You'd Cry Your Eyes Out if We Did That!

Gothic Tales of Haunted Love

Amorous Education CAMPUS ROMANCES "One Way Romance"

If you thought last week's story about a girl falling for a guy who looked like a younger version of her father was weird...

...wait until you see this little tale!

Yeah, waiting until she graduates to marry won't get any tongues wagging!

I can see the first faculty get-together after the wedding...

"Hi, Professor Banner!

Congratulations on your nuptials!

Odd, your lovely bride looks so...familiar?"

"Oh, she was in your European Classical Literature class last semester, Professor Warren!"
Illustrated by Jerry Grandenetti, and scripted by an unknown author, this never-reprinted story from Avon's Campus Romances #2 (1950) is an interesting insight as to what was "polticially-correct" back then!
