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!

  

Still the Munsters!

Yes, we still have not exhausted all the pages of the 1965 Whitman coloring book featuring The Munsters.

Several generations of kids colored on this one.

See you on Friday!

Superman Kills!

This is from the October 1, 1988 Amazing Heroes #150.

You know, I not only agree with Morrissey's reasoning, I pretty much concur with these opinions of Byrne's effect on Superman and DC.

I'll leave you to ruminate silently on such horrors, as you gird your loins for the commencement of BLOG-O-WEEN ... TOMORROW!
