Still EERIE After all These Years

Earlier in the year I posted the comics content of Eerie #15, from June 1968.  Now it's time for more fun from that representative fright frolic:  the ads!

I always wondered if those masks could be as cool on MY FACE as the pix in the ad made it appear.  Back in the Sixties, $34 buck was a big chunk o' change, roughly equivalent to $300 today.

Nowadays I can say I have heard the contents of most of these records.  Some still stand up as chilling or evocative today.

I never saw that Blazing Combat mag.  I always figured that the implied competition between Uncle Creepy and Cousin Eerie was an attempt to make fans buy both and compare 'em.

Pow!  Zam!  I might have read an issue or two of Screen Thrills, but I bet a lot of the "thrills" have leaked out of these properties over time.

See you Monday!

  

Gee, Mister Loo-TORR!

That's NOT how Lex Luthor was known before the wonderful Superman: The Movie came along and stereotyped the evil genius.

Here's a Luthor history from the September 1, 1988 Amazing Heroes.

Now you can decide which Luthor you like.  Give me Silver Age any day!

See you Thursday, fellow super fans!
