Who Toys with Terror!

Legendary John Severin was mentioned in the comments of a recent post, which got me thinking that it's been a minute since we saw any of his mastery around here. And paired-up with another master, Boris Vallejo, and one of his all-time hottest cover paintings ever, well, I'd say we have ourselves one helluva way to kick off our macabrely weird weekend! Not only that, but how about a peek at the awesome original Boris painting too! Quite a difference in the two, eh? And say, don't forget the model glue now, cuz you'll be sniffin' up a sad storm of Aurora monster kit kiddo memories before it's all over! This is one truly packed, and utterly perfect post... from the March 1975 issue of Weird Tales of the Macabre #2.

The Super-Abnormal Phenomena Survival Kit!

Long time THOIA reader Trevor M requested more from the late great John Severin, (who passed away last month at the age of 90.) Trev even suggested a superb selection from the May 1976 issue of Creepy #79, and here it is-- a very funny jab at horror cliches, and what to do about them. If anyone wants to see more Creepy tales here just let me know, I have no problem keeping things black and white this month.

Warren's Best of '75

Monster Howls (PART ONE)

THOIA honors the great John Severin who passed away earlier this month at the age of 90. An incredibly gifted, influencial artist who needs no introduction, (but if you need more info click HERE), and at THOIA, we like to let the art do the talking with some highlights from the awesome 1966 Monster Howls one-shot issue (Humor-Vision / Major Magazines.) These pages speak volumes about his distinct talent, sense of humor, and monster mastery! John Severin (Dec. 26, 1921 – Feb. 12, 2012)
