Thanks a bunch.
ReplyDeleteThe Nemesis story is pretty good--a planet where the good are sent to hell to die is pretty innovative if you ask me.
The second tale is a reprint--this time from the short lived Midnight Mystery-issue 3 by the name of "Mystery Elephant." There's something amusingly ridiculous about a killer flying elephant--like an evil Dumbo if you ask me. I've peaked at this tale before but never fully read it, so you could easily forgive me if I thought in the past that the "elephant" turned out to be a robot. There was a similar story in an issue of "Forbidden Worlds" of a small killer bird that happened to be a robot spying from somewhere else.
The third tale is a lot of fun--love the idea of a ghost where all you can see is his cane. Got to love when the Sheriff practically asks to be knocked on the head with it.
Well thank you!
DeleteI always though Nemesis was a cool superhero and this was an interesting story. Fun Chic Stone art.
Nice to see Ditko artwork on an ACG book. I believe this was done post Spiderman (1966) He also did some great work for other publishers Like Charlton, Tower and Warren at this time.
