More than 100 bloggers are celebrating Boris Karloff’s birthday (he’d be 122!) this week with posts on the actor, his life and his movies. Check out FRANKENSTEINIA at http://frankensteinia.blogspot.com/ for more information.

I have yet to see anyone blog today on his long-running licensed comic book, BORIS KARLOFF TALES OF MYSTERY in which he acted as a horror host. That said, here’s a story posted a couple weeks back from that Gold Key comic from 1970, more than a year after the actor’s real-life passing!

Here we find a story from BORIS KARLOFF’S THRILLER of 1962, a short-lived comic very similar to its more popular successor above. GCD credits the art here to former Bob Kane ghost Jerry Robinson.

From there we link to this retro post from Pappy from that same # 1 issue. This time the art is by longtime LONE RANGER newspaper strip artist Tom Gill.

Finally, here’s a link to the Official Boris Karloff website with cover images from several issues of BORIS KARLOFF TALES OF MYSTERY as well as an order form so you can order the recent Dark Horse collector’s volume reprint directly from the Karloff site!
