TALES FROM THE TOMB NO. 1 (PART 1)

Another title from Eerie Publications that plundered Robert Farrell's pre-Code horror comics for their content. The bizarre cover is probably a slap-dash work by editor Carl Burgos.

Also listed as an art director was one, Ezra Jackson. Purported to be one of Myron Fass' pseudonyms, it is more likely the African-American comic book artist of the same name. Jackson worked for Hillman and Fawcett in the 1940s.

Visit WoM's companion site, FEAR IN FOUR COLORS to see examples of how Eerie Pub's modified these stories to make them more "horrifying".

THE MONSTER TIMES NO. 19

Universal's sci-fi/horror film TARANTULA is spotlighted this issue. The cool 70s TV movie, GARGOYLES is covered as well as the usual entertaining articles. The comic strip, "A Taste of Honey" is written by Marty Pasko and illustrated by Tom Armstrong.
