BOY, TAKE A LOOK AT THESE COVERS!

I've mentioned that many crime comics by virtue of the subject are often horror adjacent. This gallery of covers from Lev Gleason's BOY COMICS emphasizes the point. Some pretty ghastly stuff here.

TOMB FOR TWO

I thought I'd fire up this post with a new, occasional series titled, WEIRD ROMANCES. And just a warning: these are not stories from the typical romance comics that glutted the news racks back in the pre-Code days; these I've culled from horror comics and there are plenty of them.

This story, "Tomb for Two", from JOURNEY INTO FEAR #6 (Superior, March 1952) proves that love truly is eternal, especially when it involves a taxidermist. Superior was a Canadian company that packaged comics for distribution in the U.S. The script and art are not credited, but it's highly possible it's from the Iger Shop.
