Black and White Wednesday: "Sand Castle" by Fedory and Marcos

HowOOOO's it shakin', Groove-ophiles! Only in the Groovy Age could you find horror stories that--in one terror tale--feature botched bank robberies, plane crashes, treks through the desert, vampires, and the entrance to Hell! And the best place to find such Horror-Mood monsterpieces? Why in Skywald's  black and white monster mags, natch! From Nightmare #21 (aka the 1974 Nightmare Summer Special), prepare to face a different kind of..."Sand Castle!"

Black and White Wednesday: "The Butchered at the Earth's Core!" by Fedory and Suso

Sometimes, Groove-ophiles, there are no words to describe the wild weirdness of the guys from Skywald. From Nightmare #14 (cover-dated August 1973) Ed Fedory and Suso give us..."The Butchered at the Earth's Core!"

Black and White Wednesday: "The Vampyre!"

Don't let the generic title of this terror tale fool ya, Groove-ophiles! Ed Fedory and Pablo Marcos' "The Vampyre!" (from Skywald's Nightmare #16, cover-dated December 1973) is a scintillating shocker well worth your time for it's titanic twist ending!


See what I mean?

Kung Fu Week! If You Blinked You Missed...Hands of the Dragon

Greetings my Groovy Grasshoppers! In 1974/1975 kung fu was hot, so naturally Atlas/Seaboard publisher Martin Goodman would demand a kung fu superhero, right? Regular Skywald horror-mood writer Ed Fedory and neophite Canadian artist Jim Craig (who would later help Roy Thomas launch What If...? and the 3-D Man) took familiar elements from Marvel's Master of Kung Fu and Iron Fist to create...The Dragon. Yeah, you could tell a lot of thought went into this one. Well, what they lacked in originality and inspiration was propped up with some energy and enthusiasm, so what could have been a monumentally bad comic turned out to be...well, pretty bad, still. Sorry fellas. Still, if everybody was'a kung fu fighting during 1975, it wouldn't be right if we left out...The Hands of the Dragon #1 (March 1975). Even if it is a little bit frightening...
