Christmas Creepyness MYSTIC "Help Wanted!"

A Christmas tale that begins just before Easter...

...proves it doesn't pay to be a Scrooge!

Mort Lawrence illustrated this tale of Xmas justice from Atlas' Mystic #19 (1953) including a rather...unusual-looking...demon.

This proved a tad problematic when editor Roy Thomas made the tale the cover feature for an issue of Marvel's 1970s horror reprint anthology Vault of Evil!

Penciller Gil Kane and inker John Romita Sr followed the demon's design perfectly...but someone forgot to tell the cover copywriter what the story was about!

There's no story in #6 (1973) even vaguely-related to insects!

And detail-obsessed Roy Thomas is the last person you'd expect to allow such a mistake!

Halloween HeartBreak YOAKE NO VAMPIRE Part 2

We Have Already Seen...

...in 1975 San Francisco, Louis de Pointe du Lac relates to an unnamed reporter how he met Lestat de Lioncourt in New Orleans...in 1791!

Our previous installment ended just as Louis was about to relate how their relationship was about to go beyond merely "intimate"...

Note, you read the pages right-to-left, not left-to-right!

The translators kept the integrity of the art by not flopping it to accommodate Western reading habits.

For the record, I agree with them.
