More Jack Cole horror!

With a whole lot of Return to Perdition pages to draw, I've not had much time for my blog lately -- but with Halloween on the way, I wanted to be sure to post a few horror stories at least. So here's a doozy -- The Corpse That Wouldn't Die! by the one and only Jack Cole. This is from Intrigue #1 -- but I think it's a reprint from some issue of Web of Evil. Scans adjusted for the web. Original scans can be found at the Digital Comics Museum. Enjoy!

A really big show

DC Comics' offices are directly across the street from this theater marquee that you just might recognize.

As part of our NY trip, I arranged a tour of DC Comics' offices. In all the years I've been freelancing for the company, I'd never actually been there! Will Dennis, editor on the "Return to Perdition" book I'm currently drawing, generously took time out of his work day to show me around -- and I was so tickled just to be there, that I forgot to take photos! I did get this ONE snap of Superman in the entry way. Silly me.

There was so much merchandise on display at the New York Comic Con, that it eventually became too much to handle -- but before I was overwhelmed by it all, I did take a few snaps of items that caught my attention. These little retro-styled figures of Archie and the gang are just great!
