Known by collectors as "Dan Curtis Giveaways", these small 3" x 6" all-color mini comics contain 24-pages of reprinted material. This is the first issue (1974) of nine different comics that were printed under the Western Publishing Company, Inc. indicia. The DARK SHADOWS comic was actually the only one of the series that is attributed to Dan Curtis.
Edited by Wallace I. Green with a script by D.J. Arneson and art by Joe Certa, this abridged story, "The Glove" is reprinted from Gold Key's DARK SHADOWS #12 (February 1972).
These are the titles in the series:
- Dark Shadows
- Star Trek
- Twilight Zone
- Ripley's Believe It or Not!
- Turok, Son of Stone
- Star Trek
- The Occult Files of Doctor Spektor
- Dagar the Invincible
- Grimm's Ghost Stories
