Submitted for your weekend dose of weird reading is this first issue of TERROR TALES from Eerie Publications. As used in their other titles, the stories are reprints from pre-code horror comics, in this case the Ajax-Farrell imprint. No script writers have been identified as of yet, and this information may be lost to horror history.

Unlike my regrets for never having sampled Skywald comics, I don't feel that bad about never getting more than a few of these books from Eerie Publications. They never fell that important for some reason, though now I realize they had some decent artwork hidden in there. The covers are so garish and can be fun to look at I guess.
ReplyDeleteThey are definitely what I call "rough gems".
