Vintage Comics - Skeleton Hand, Issue 1 : Deathless Mortal, The Ghost of Company C (Cover - Pg. 11)

One of the slightly more beat-up comics I've come upon, I simply couldn't resist that cover. Monsters. Skeletons. Even what appears to be a vampire...but they have nothing to do with the first story, alas. Still...can you ever get anything better for Halloween than a group of ghouls just having a good time? I don't think so.

The first story is a nicely dark twist, which seems to be fairly uncommon in many of the stories, as rarely do we tend to see more than the occasional gruesome ghost...I rather liked these old man-goblins in their odd little way. The second one is a little reminiscent of the a simple little 30s or 40s farce you'd watch in-between movies.

Vintage Comics - Adventures Into Darkness, Issue 5: Horror's Little Acre, The Phantom Warning, Day of Reckoning (Pg 18 - End )

We finish up this issue with two tales of vengeance and an unheeded warning. The first story was...well they're all fairly predictable. I'm only left wondering where on earth in the US you could find an acre of property with plants as exotic as the ones in this comic?

I really liked the last story, the design for the burnt bird woman was particularly interesting, I think...if a bit sad. Reminds me of a noir fairy tale.
