A lot of discussion about pre-Code horror comics focuses on EC (of course) and other publishers who had the talents of artists such as Lee Elias, Warren Kremer, Bob Powell, Bernard Baily and others illustrating outrageous covers and stories for them. But one artist seems to often elude those praised for their work: Jay Disbrow.
Disbrow concocted some of the most vile and hideous monsters in the pages of Star Comics' STARTLING TERROR TALES. This story appeared in their second time around with the title (Vol. 1, No. 10, August 1954) with a cover by L.B. Cole.
In this story, a mysterious fluid morphs into something both terrifying and deadly. "Finally, it resolved itself into a horrible entity of titanic proportions, with rippling tentacles, and an extremely grotesque head protruding from its enormous mass"!
