MURDER BY SHRUNKEN HEADS!


Famous explorers are getting knocked off one-by-one after receiving a gift of a shrunken head (!). The clue to their demise is the heavy box they're delivered in. In this chatty story, readers will discover the terrible secret of the shrunken head murders.

By an unidentified writer and artist, "The Death Look" appeared in SECRET MYSTERIES #16 (Ribage, November 1954). The title was continued from two different comics as listed in the indicia: Ribage's CRIME MYSTERIES and Trojan's CRIME SMASHERS. The cover is by Myron Fass.

Only one issue of this title was published, and judging from the cover date, it was likely cut short as a result of the Comics Code Authority.

GALLOPING GHOSTS! WEREWOLVES!


Trojan Magazines' BEWARE began life as a three-issue run from Youthful Publications who changed the name from FANTASTIC with issue #10. Trojan took over the title with issue #13 after Youthful changed the title to CHILLING TALES for five more issues. It ran until issue #16, then re-started their own numbering with issue #5. The CCA did it in with issue #14 (March 1955). Merit published one more issue (#15) in May 1955 with the CCA's approval stamp on the cover. Did you get all that?
