King Ward's Wig!

Yes, I have other things I should be doing -- but couldn't resist posting another crazy horror comic. From the pages of This Magazine is HAUNTED #14, this is "The Wig." The Grand Comics Database lists no credits for this one -- but I'm pretty darned sure the art is by King Ward, whose wacky and weird work I've posted before -- see "Were-Spider's Doom!" These scans are a little fuzzy, but this tale is just too wild not to share!

George Evans and the Green Hands of Terror!

EC Comics great George Evans drew the tremendously weird tale, The Green Hands of Terror for Fawcett's This Magazine is HAUNTED. I love how absolutely crazy and creepy the stories in these '50s horror comics are -- and finding examples as well drawn as this one is a thrill.

As usual, I've done some clean up work on scans found on the web. In this case I've lightened the (very) tanned paper, and darkened the blacks -- making for a better presentation of the art.

If you'd like to explore the many public domain comics out there for yourself, check out the Digital Comics Museum. A word of warning, though -- be prepared to sift through a lot of junk to find the gems.
