Two creepy Steve Ditko stories from Charlton’s GHOST MANOR are residing at Groove’s pad today including one in which the artist makes innovative use of musical notes to tell his tale of a warped pianist.

Sometime MAD (and later PLOP) artist Basil Wolverton drew some wacky and insane creatures and characters but none wackier or more insane than when he was trying to tell a straightforward tale. Here’s his now classic sci-fi story BRAIN BATS OF VENUS.

GOLD KEY COMICS, a newish blog devoted to…well…Gold Key Comics… offers a nice 1960′s TWILIGHT ZONE story drawn by the original JLA artist Mike Sekowsky. Try to overlook the blog author’s annoying and consistent misspelling of the artist’s name. He’s new.

An original tale of THE BLACK TERROR, the recently oft-revived public domain hero (with what appears almost to be a PVC costume) is on view from EXCITING COMICS today here:
