Tell a Tale Three Times: STRANGE FANTASY "Love Trap"

Here's a tale presented during the heydey of horror comics...

...then modified to satisfy the Comics Code, then re-modified to be more horrifying!

All we know about the credits for this tale from Ajax/Farrell's Strange Fantasy #6 (1953) is that it was produced by the Iger Studio, who supplied several publishers with stories and had a history of re-using their material over and over again...as you'll see from the follow-up entry to this at our "brother" RetroBlog, Atomic Kommie Comics!

We'll all end up in a graveyard eventually...

... so it's appropriate that we end our week of terror with a visit to one in this never-reprinted tale!

Interesting how what they called a "ghoul" back then would be considered a "zombie" today!
This terror-tale from Ajax/Farrell's Fantastic Comics #11 (1954) is an "Iger Studio" product, but the artist (or artists) is/are unknown.

The writer is probably series editor Ruth Roche.

STRANGE FANTASY "Meet Me in the Tomb"

Sadistic criminals, double-crossing gun molls, and zombies...

...now that's entertainment for the kiddies!

This terror-tale from Strange Fantasy #14 (1954) is credited in numerous databases as "Iger Studio", rather than any one artist.

Understandable, since you can see a host of styles (and swipes) from page to page, and even panel to panel!

The writer is probably Ruth Roche.
