THE PSYCHIC BLOOD HOUND is an enjoyable Jack Kirby “horror” tale from his early 1970′s stay at DC. It isn’t mentioned here but I’m pretty sure this was originally meant for the second issue of Kirby’s black and white SPIRIT WORLD but was instead tossed away with no fanfare in the badly titled FORBIDDEN TALES OF DARK MANSION.

Bernie Krigstein’s art is yet another taste I acquired only with the wisdom of time. Now I relish his work as a rare treat that comics fans were lucky to get from a guy too hip for the room. A couple of Bernie’s 1950′s short stories are up at TEN CENT DREAMS including a highly stylized pirate yarn.

Here’s a nice plea on behalf of another largely unsung artist, Warren Kremer, followed by a tale of his own creation (for Harvey Comics) STUMBO THE GIANT, shared from the original art pages!

Allan Harvey is up with a nicely illustrated and fairly in-depth look at Joe Simon’s creation, BROTHER POWER, THE GEEK, often (and correctly so) cited as one of the worst mainstream comic books ever published. Definitely in the “so bad it’s good” department, though.
