GHOST STORIES #4 OCTOBER-DECEMBER 1963
DIDN'T REALIZE THIS WAS SO OLD WHEN I RESCUED IT FROM A CLEARANCE BOX. FOR BEING IN THAT NO-MAN'S LAND BETWEEN WERTHAM'S FOLLY AND THE RELAXING STANDARDS OF THE 70S IT'S NOT THAT BAD. NOT GORY OR GRUESOME BUT NICE SPOOKY TALES WITH A DECENT BODY COUNT.
STORY 1: A ROTTEN NEPHEW BUMPS OFF HIS UNCLE FOR THE INHERITANCE, BUT UNC HAS A SURPRISE PLANNED FOR HIM
STORY 2: A WOMAN IS DRAWN TO AN OLD MANSION IN THE WOODS AND DISCOVERS THAT IT USED TO BELONG TO A WITCH THAT LOOKS JUST LIKE HER
STORY 3: THE COVER STORY. A CRAZY ARTIST KIDNAPS AN OLD LADY AND FORCES HER TO POSE FOR A PAINTING UNTIL THEY BOTH DIE FROM EXHAUSTION AND THEN THERE'S A TWIST
STORY 4: MASSACRES EVERYWHERE. LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF INNOCENTS DEAD. I'M GUESSING THEY FIGURED THE PRUDES WOULD QUIT READING BY THIS POINT
ANOTHER PLASTIC SOLDIER SET AD. THE ROMAN CIVIL WAR IS PRETTY CHRISTMASY, ISN'T IT? LOTSA CAVALRY AND CHARIOTS AND CATAPULTS(!!!) WITH (harmless) AMMUNITION TO SHOOT AT THE OPPOSING GENERAL'S EYES WHEN IN HEATED COMBAT. SAID IT BEFORE, I'LL SAY IT AGAIN. HELLUVA DEAL FOR $1.98. I WANNA GO BACK IN TIME, BUY EVERY SET THEY MAKE AND HAVE A GIGANTIC FREE FOR ALL BATTLE ON SOMEONE'S LIVING ROOM FLOOR BEFORE THE AUTHORITIES SHOW UP AND DRAG ME OFF TO AREA 51 TO STUDY MY TIME MACHINE AND POSSIBLY MY BRAIN

I like these books, and it's nice that they can usually be gotten on the cheap, what with most folks not giving two sh*ts about them and all.
Seems like a pretty awesome comic! I know that our youth seems super desensitized to certain things in society these days... but I can't imagine this comic going over too well with parents these days. #cupcakenation
