Ryan B reads Raise The Devil & The Worm Turns

 




Hey gang! Welcome to another scum filled spookapalooza edition of Comic Book Crud. For our last entry this Halloween season, me and Tom thought it would be a treat for all you delinquents out there if we gave you not one, but two jolting tales of terror in the Comic Book Crud tradition.

So, put on your Collegeville costumes, stuff your face with some razor blade filled Zagnut bars, and let's join good old Cain for a party at The House of Mystery already in progress...

Ryan B does All Hallows

 
 
 
 
 
 
Welcome back to Comic Book Crud you horror comic fiends and delinquents. I am that hoodlum that your parents warned you not to play with, Ryan B.
 
Today we will be continuing the theme of Halloween that we started last time with The October Game and will be enjoying all throughout the month of October.
 
 
You all remember what it was like to trick or treat, right? Many of you still may even be doing it to spite being in your late twenties. You go to a house, ring the bell, say "trick or treat" threateningly to whoever answers, have goodies dropped into your sack, then you say "thank you" and walk away so you can go get the eggs and toilet paper and repay the goon for giving you a box of dental floss.
 
Yes, it's one of the greatest joys of childhood, and the subject of tonight's story. It's a fantastic piece of midnight madness from Twisted Tales #1. Written by the master, Bruce Jones, and drawn by the talented Tim Conrad, this is a tale that could only happen on...

Ryan B does The October Game

 
 
 
 
 
Howdy there, my fellow delinquents. It's your old pal Ryan B here once again to present to you another story from one of my uncle's moldy old muck mags.
 
Since the season of the witch (October) is upon us now and Halloween is right around the CORONER, I thought it would be only too appropriate for me to give you all a little treat. Or is it a trick? You'll have to read it to find out.
 
It's a story from EC Comics' SHOCK SuspenStories #9 and it's adapted by editor Al Feldstein from a short story by none other than Ray Bradbury himself. The art is by EC veteran, Jack Kamen, and it'll no doubt put you in just the right mood for this holiday season.
 
Now, if you're ready, prepare to play the game...
