This here's the last story from
Eerie #15, June 1968.
With my grown-up eyes, I think of the story title, and the moon in general, and am reminded of Joni Mitchell's "A Case of You." A guy promises her that he will be as constant as the Northern Star. She sniffs, "Constantly in the dark? Gotcha."
The art here by Jeff Jones is a little ... how you say, impressionistic? The angles of the girl's cleavage sure made an impression -- ahem -- on my 12-year-old self!
So the mysterious bald guy materializes from thin air to bring rescue Diane, and then vanishes after a cold dip in the Channel.
We've seen the trope a million times, people wandering off into the dangerous woods. I guess all of those people are candidates for Darwin Awards, eh?
Tony must have paid the gypsy a lot of moolah for her to throw six silver bullets at him! Another fun fact: There's a spiritualistic medium named Madame Zokar in an episode of
The New Scooby-Doo Movies. That's "A Good Medium Is Rare," from 1972.
Tony wants Diane dead. But why?
And who is this bald guy who keeps apporting into the action?
All of a sudden the bald guy doesn't seem so altruistic. What about Tony then?
I guess if you can't beat 'em, join 'em! Talk about doing
anything for love!
See you on Monday for a February trip through my twisted memories!
