http://whencomicbooksruled.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 30, 2014. It's October is Spookey Month time again! I know, I know, you're excited about this annual tradition here at When Comic Books Ruled the Earth where we take all of October and examine various horror comics. We're going to take a break from Marvel movies and spend some time chilling with some chillers. The eccentric spelling of "spookey" is in tribute to a local rock band called Spookey. Banana Splits Adventure Hour. Links to this post. Sunday, September 28, 2014. Settling like...

When Comic Books Ruled the Earth: October is Spookey Month: Happy Halloween from the Twilight Zone!
http://whencomicbooksruled.blogspot.com/2014/10/october-is-spookey-month-happy.html
Friday, October 31, 2014. October is Spookey Month: Happy Halloween from the Twilight Zone! Well, Dell Four Color. 1288's version of The Twilight Zone. The lead story is a yawner of a ghost story about a conman and his partner (who looks amazingly like great character actor Edward Andrews. It's appropriate because Serling occasionally set up Nazi characters for deserved comeuppances, as in The Twilight Zone. Episode "Death's-Head Revisited" and in the November 1969 Night Gallery. List of Defunct Companies.

Thursday, August 28, 2014. Happy Jack Kirby Day! August 28th, Jack Kirby's birthday. It should be a national holiday. Links to this post. Wednesday, August 27, 2014. Marvel's Marvelous Movies #8: For Your Eyes Only (Marvel Super Special #19, June 1981). For your eyes only, can see me through the night. For your eyes only, I never need to hide. You can see so much in me, so much in me that's new. I never felt until I looked at you. Heresy and I get my biggest kick from Thunderball. Of the two, I still pre...

Friday, January 30, 2015. Hooray for Lonnie Loomis! They make do. That's how you get a Lonnie Loomis. In any event, this is the simple version. 25 (First Comics, 000, 198-) alongside Stacy and Michana, Lonnie mourns the murder of her beloved father, General Loomis. They later learn his killer was the orginal Nexus, in Nexus. 3- (000, 198-), and Lonnie is the one who spits in his face. Here's the sequence as illustrated by Mike Mignola, with inks by John Nyberg. 3- (000, 198-), but it's in Next Nexu.

Sunday, December 29, 2013. Uncanny X-Men #118 (February 1979): Bad New Mutants Go To Japan! Script: Chris Claremont; Art: John Byrne and Ric Villamonte. Enjoy this spectacular double-page spread from Uncanny X-Men. 118 (February 1979), pencilled by John Byrne and inked by Ric Villamonte. Maybe Terry Austin was off that month. Agarashima, the city on fire here, is completely fictional but the visible architecture in Byrne's rendition is plausible enough. You know, not on fire. Links to this post. I could ...

http://whencomicbooksruled.blogspot.com/2014/10/october-is-spookey-month-how-ec-ruined.html
Friday, October 17, 2014. October is Spookey Month: How EC ruined America's pasttime in Haunt of Fear #19 (May-June 1953). No, they didn't ruin baseball. That's just me trying to have a little fun and shake things up a bit. If anything, they made baseball better! But EC did get itself into hot water with the government over "Foul Play," a story appearing in Haunt of Fear. 19 (May-June 1953). Dr. Frederic Wertham used it as an example of horror comic nastiness in his book. Seduction of the Innocent. INTER...
