WEREWOLF!

A run-of-the-mill werewolf story and if the ending has been used once, it's been used ... well, you get the picture. What makes this the lurid-looking pre-Code horror story that it is, is because of some good and gritty art by the team of Mort Meskin and George Roussous (signed MR). From OUT OF THE SHADOWS #14 ((Visual Editions, Inc./Pines, August 1954).

DEATH BY WIG

A tale of revenge from another inanimate object. It shouldn't be alive . . . but it is!

"The Wig" is from OUT OF THE SHADOWS #11 (Standard Comics/Pines, January 1954) with art by Mike Roy.

THIS ONE'LL FLOOR YOU!

Here's another twisted tale from TORMENTED #2 (Sterling, September 1954). It seems apartment building janitor Cyrus Madden is a bit obsessed with cleanliness and his landlady has scolded him for chastising her tenants for mussing up his floors. There's no love lost between them and Madden has had enough, killing her with a knock on the head with a shovel. Madden's conscience gets the better of him and he ends up a victim of his own fixation.

The art is by Mike Roy.
