DADDY SHOULD HAVE LISTENED


Johnnie's Daddy is the best horror comic book artist in the world. He's won the "Ghoul" award for the last two years, but he's suddenly found himself out of ideas. That is, until Johnnie's friend Willie lets him in on a little secret-- his Daddy has a house of real monsters out in the country. Johnnie relays to his Daddy what Willie has shown him so that he can use them in his stories. Daddy's curiosity gets the best of him and he's got to get the the bottom of this so-called "monster house".

"My Daddy Should Have Listened" appeared in BEWARE #12 (Youthful, October 1952) and drawn by Vince Napoli, who began his art career supplying the early issues of WEIRD TALES with interior illustrations. On a humorous note, in one panel the artist is worried that his work will be eclipsed by other artists like Ed Goldfarb, Bob Baer, Harry Harrison, Ernie Bache, and Steve Kirkel, all who drew for Youthful!
