Shock: Chilling Tales of Horror and Suspense
Vol.1 No.1, May 1969

/ Magazine Morgue / Leave a Comment

Here's the entire first issue of Shock: Chilling Tales of Horror and Suspense from Stanley Publications. If you can shed any light on the artists and writers of these stories, please do so. Unlike Eerie Publications, or Skywald, Stanley doesn't get as much love.  And with such a nice assortment of death and mayhem in this issue, too: The Gossips wag their tongues a little too often; Voodoo Dolls needle people the wrong way; a professor puts his mind to a gruesome end in Eternal Death; a dinner guest splatters all over the room in Last Supper; and a small town gets ripped apart in the Premonition.

Cracked’s For Monsters Only
Issue 6, January 1969

/ Magazine Morgue / Leave a Comment

A super issue 6 for Cracked's For Monsters Only has it all: Vic Martin's groovy monster mobile cut-out (I did cut it out way back when and hung it up!); Jerry Grandenetti's poetic, kinetic art in The Secret Files of Marc Vangoro, Frankenstein '68 (with story by Otter Binder?); Richard Bojarski's articles on John Carradine and Lionell Atwill; and must-have items like the miniature secret spy camera (yes, I bought it!) and the Monster Size Glow in the Dark  Skeleton (ditto!) in the ad pages. I also bought the x-ray binocular specs but I still couldn't see through walls or clothes. Damn.
