Two is a Crowd!

Another mean-spirited Atlas tale on deck today, this time from the awesome April 1952 issue of Marvel Tales #106. If you've ever wanted to see a nice time-lapse of a corpse being entombed behind a wall, well, you've absolutely come to the right place! For some reason the Atlas Tales website notes: "Buried Alive" even though our victim is clearly seen being choked to death on the previous page-- did I miss something?

The Undead!

The cemetery hills are alive with the sounds of, umm, shovels, as we dig into an Allen Bellman Atlas horror entry from the July 1951 issue of Mystic #3. Hmmm, as "one of the most important men of science", you'd think this guy would've thought of the one major detail that everyone will be thinking while reading this terror tale-- it doesn't make it any less entertaining though! Yes, that's entertainment, f-f-f-folks!

The Madman's Music / The Storm!

Here are the two non-Venus filler tales from Venus #17 and #19: "The Madman's Music" with spooky art by Pete Morisi, and "The Storm!" illustrated by Allen Bellman --a couple of simply told Atlas quickies revealing what eerily awaits below the earth, and the ocean.

The Two Who Were Alone! / Joe…

Here’s a couple different sort of nail biters for you from the Dec. ’51 issue of Adventures into Terror #7, the first story from Allen Bellman and the second from Hy Rosen. This is a good all-around issue, also featuring neat Joe Maneely and Harry Lazarus yarns, but most notably containing Basil Wolverton’s classic “Where Monsters Dwell” that we posted way back in October '07 from one of the numerous re-print versions… click HERE for it!
