50,000 HITS TODAY!

Well gals and ghouls, here we are 50,000 hits later... who would a thunk it?!! i'm still here, and trust me, i'm as amazed as you are! So, even though we're still on the Skywald Horror-Mood Mystery Tour, i couldn't let this go by without a lil' something by way of celebration, so here we go - something old AND something new, hopefully something for everyone!

First, some Charlton comics..... the unusual suspects, Ditko, Staton, Boyette, Gill, Cuti, Howard, blah, blah, blah, blah blah....

Ghost Manor Vol. 1 Number 16


Ghost Manor Vol. 1 Number 17


Haunted 5


Haunted 6


Scary Tales 7


Midnight Tales 7


Midnight Tales 11

And now some REAL HOROR - The Horror of WAR!


The two stories below show the difference the Comics Code had on even the "Combat"genre - both feature nice art by another neglected artist - Bob Powell. Compare the tone and content of "Death Rides the Bomb-Bay" with the later "Headline Happy". Trust me... there's a BIG difference!



Death Rides the Bomb-Bay



Headline Happy


...and for you fans of the old SF pulps... (yeah, i know this is a re-post... just deal with it OK?)
I Flew In A Flying Saucer Part 1

And NOW - THE SOUND......

First up, is an 8 part, self-contained dramatization from 1946 of a nuclear attack on the good old U.S. of A. by "Nation X" (this would be before the Julius & Ethel Rosenberg incident...go ahead, google it up if you don't know what i'm talking about....this will all still be here when you come back). With an all-star cast including Henry Fonda, Glenn Ford, J. Carroll Naish and many more, i get the impression that this was big-time in its day. By today's standards it's wildly scientifically innacurate and melodramatic, but still entertaining and insightful.... BOOM BOOM....

PS. To all and anyone who says i have too much free time...

a) Do y'all think i won the "Time Lottery" or something? Maybe i worked long and hard to get to where i am today... doing what i like doing, and pretty much in control of my own time (and destiny for that matter).

b) i actually think that there is NO SUCH THING AS "FREE" TIME - THE COST OF THIS TIME IS YOUR LIFE! GET IT?
(...now go outside and DO something, will ya?)
