Tell a Tale Three Times WEIRD "Land of No Return"

The first, horrifying version of this tale was HERE...
...the second, far less scary version of the story, is HERE!
Now continue with the final version...
Ajax/Farrell finally gave up the ghost (as it were) in 1958, but publisher Robert Farrell remained in publishing, doing non-comics projects.
In 1969, he joined with Myron Fass, a former comics artist who had failed to make a Silver Age color comics line (MF Enterprises) profitable, but saw that Warren Publications' b/w magazines (Creepy, Eerie, Vampirella) were selling very well!
With Farrell providing art from the Ajax/Farrell files, the two launched Eerie Publications with titles like Tales of Voodoo, Weird, and Terrors of Dracula!
This version of the tale appeared in Weird V3N4 (1969)
Was the alien entity modified from the original (1953) version, or was this the original version, modified for the first publication in 1953?
We'll never know...

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!

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