The strange journey of BLUE BOLT comics continues. Originally, BB was a superhero comic created by Joe Simon and not long after, drawn by Jack Kirby. Star overhauled the title to BLUE BOLT WEIRD TALES OF TERROR in hopes to compete with EC and other horror comics on the spinner racks. After 9 issues, the bloom was off the Blue Bolt rose and they went full horror with the title, GHOSTLY WEIRD STORIES with issue #120. Again, Jay Disbrow contributed all the stories and art with the exception of one by Lee Loeb.

Come back later today for another deadly dose of horror comics!

BLUE BOLT WEIRD TALES OF TERROR

This comic had a strange journey. The title began in 1940 as BLUE BOLT by Novelty Press, created by Joe Simon. Jack Kirby joined in with the illustrations in the second issue. The comic ran for 101 issues until it morphed into a horror title, presumably to compete with EC Comics.

This is the second issue with L.B. Cole as editor and Jay Disbrow doing most of the art and scripting on crazy story titles like "The Weird Ape Howls!". Rudy Palais contributes art in a couple of stories. Besides with his horror art, Palais also illustrated issues of CLASSICS ILLUSTRATED.

Check back later this morning for more Sunday classic horror comics!
