BLACK CAT vs FRANKENSTEIN!

Well - nothing on the Skywald front today either from the turrets of Castle von Datajunkie... but while that's the bad news.... the GOOD news is i'll repost these some morbid dregs from the files, and that will hopefully satisfy all you scary monsters and super-freaks 'till the weekend...
(that's really the soonest i'll get another 64+ pages of Skywald Horrod-Mood "goodness" scanned... sorry - they're really time consuming to scan and mount up...
and - oh, i have a so-called-life that keeps me... uh - how can i put it?
....away from the computer....)

Anyway, let's check out Harvey Comics Black Cat #44.... need OIL... must have.....OIL!
Oh, and there's some other icky stuff in this ish too....
This was the first horror book i put up, many full moons ago.....
Great art by Bob Powell, Howard Nostrand and Joe Certa (?)...
i still contend that some of the Pre-Code Harvey output stands up toe-to-toe with the EC line....
Now if ya wanna step outside, i'll proove my point more eloquently....
BLACK CAT MYSTERY #44


Now let's take a peek at Black Cat #47, shall we?
The artists in this issue are Howard Nostrand (doing his best Jack Davis imitation on "Low Noon"), Joe Certa and Bob Powell. I can't identify the artist on "TORTURE", a nasty Kafka-esque nightmare that has to rate as one of the NASTIEST comic book stories i've ever read. The cover is by Lee Elias. It has very little to do with anything inside the book, but it's pretty powerful, none the less.
Y'know, i find it more than jus' a lil' perverse that the same folks at Harvey Comics, who published this gem of whacked-out over the top horror and mayhem, went on to later and greater success with Casper, the Dead Baby & Richie the Little Trust Fund Jerk. Now THAT'S weird.....
BLACK CAT MYSTERY #47


PLUS - FRANKENSTEIN!
Here's a creaky (but fun, and not too un-faithful) adaption of the classic tale from the 1930's as we contunue our reposted horror-fest here at Castle von Datajunkie (...that's just between Ingolstadt and Karlstadt on the Transylvania turnpike... take a left at the graveyard.... ya can't miss it!)
