Edgar Allen Poe’s HOP FROG makes a seasonably timely reappearance from 1966′s CREEPY # 12 as adapted by the late, lamented Archie Goodwin and illustrated in loving detail in glorious black and white by the late, great Reed Crandall.

Here’s a whole bunch of 1950′s Harvey horror tales nicely drawn by the ever-stylish Bob Powell, late of Will Eisner’s SPIRIT SECTIONS, for a regular Powelloween Celebration!

From deep in the COMIC BOOK CATACOMBS comes this weird jungle story of PANU from a 1950 issue of DOROTHY LAMOUR that may or may not be by Sid Check in full Wally Wood mode.

Finally, SEQUENTIAL CRUSH presents an interview with Irene Vartanoff, probably the most famous female letterhack in comics history! There was a point in the Silver Age where just about every issue of every DC comic had a LOC (letter of comment) from Ms Irene (with whom I myself recently exchanged a couple nostalgic emails). Fun stuff!
