An Eternal Haunt!

If you were ever a red-blooded American kid, you thrilled to the cartoon adventures of Jonny Quest.
The Sea Haunt turned out to be the final episode, airing in April 1965.  The Quest crew encounters a seemingly deserted ship.  They find one survivor hiding in the freezer, who warns them about the devil from the sea which killed the others.
Here's a screengrab from about eight minutes into the show, when we the viewers learn that the cook isn't crazy -- there REALLY IS a sea monster prowling the vessel!
This shot from about 15 minutes in gives us a better view of the whole beast.  

Well ... imagine my surprise when, in a book about pulp horror, I came across a familiar face!
This here's the cover of Strange Tales, cover-dated October 1932.  Tell me these haints ain't related!

See you Monday!
