ADVENTURES INTO THE UNKNOWN "Haunted Morgue"

Since tomorrow is the 150th Anniversary of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln...

...we're presenting a couple of tawdry tales about the killer...John Wilkes Booth!

Written by editor Richard Hughes and illustrated by Emil Gershwin, this never-reprinted story from ACG's Adventures into the Unknown #14 (1950) has the ghost of JWB losing the conflict and most of the protagonists surviving.

Tomorrow, we'll present a tale where the assassin's spirit wins!

ADVENTURES INTO THE UNKNOWN "World that Was"

Yesterday at Atomic Kommie Comics™...

...we ran a most unusual tale about a shunned outsider.

Today, we present the original version of that tale with the codicil that it may be NSFW due to politically-incorrect references to mental handicaps...

Appearing in ACG's Adventures into the Unknown #61 (1955), this tale was written by Richard Hughes and illustrated by Ken Landau with a number of changes by Ogden Whitney (the last three panels of page 2, all of page 3, and panel 1 of page 4!

Among other things, an entire plot point, involving a dead dog is changed into a "mistaken identity" story!

Strangely, the dead dog plot was restored in the Comics Code-approved reprint!

ADVENTURES INTO THE UNKNOWN "I am a Zombie!"

It's Halloween, and since zombies are the "hot" monsters of the year...

...we thought a first-person confessional about being one of the undead seemed apropos!

The artist of this kool klassic tale from ACG's Adventures into the Unknown #50 (1953) is the highly-underrated Lin Streeter who produced over 200 stories covering every genre for a variety of publishers from 1940 to 1954.

The writer, though not credited, is probably editor Richard Hughes, who wrote the vast majority of ACG's output under a variety of pseudonyms.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Join us next week as we present another tale your grandparents didn't want your parents to see!
