TERROR TALES #1 \u201cGhost Hounds Of Trelawney\u201d (Bob Powell) \u2013 reprinted in THE THING #17 (Charlton) This issue is missing on the internet.<\/strong> So we can only guess who may be the artist for \u201cThe Nameless Horror\u201d: McCarty, Evans, Baily? Or some hack cameo artist who didn\u2019t get to be reprinted? A small mystery remains until we can lay eyes upon this issue (it is a rare collector’s item and still missing on the internet).<\/p>\n Horror experts might feel familiar about the title \u201cCustodian Of The Dead\u201d. There\u2019s another story by that name, drawn by the great Jack Cole for Quality\u2019s WEB OF EVIL #1.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Attack of „The Mummy“!<\/p><\/div>\n BEWARE! TERROR TALES #2 \u201cEerie Footsteps In The Red Snow\u201d (Bob Powell) A horror host has never been featured more prominently on a cover!<\/strong> This title page belongs almost entirely to \u201cThe Mummy<\/strong>\u201d, Fawcett\u2019s host of their BEWARE! TERROR TALES series. This is the only cover in pre-code horror history where a host is actively involved in the scene.<\/p>\n Can\u2019t shake the feeling that this issue\u2019s artwork look a bit \u201coff\u201d in all the stories. These look like hasty and sloppy jobs by all credited artists; I smell assistance. Sekowsky surely contributed only roughs to his story; Powell looks odd – and Andru will do this story only for FAWCETT HORROR.<\/p>\n And for a first time I have to criticize the writing: \u201cEerie Footsteps In The Red Snow\u201d is foreseeable and boring. But the other two stories are fine again. <\/p>\n BEWARE! TERROR TALES #3 \u201cThe Dry Doom\u201d (Sheldon Moldoff) There\u2019s a very nonsensical kind of \u201cguarantee\u201d<\/strong> on the cover. The Mummy announces: \u201cI am the Mummy! My tales are backed up by 2,000 years of intimate dealings with the supernatural\u2026\u201d – Glad you\u2019re selling horror and not body lotion, you ol\u2019 bag of wrinkles. \u201cThe Dry Doom\u201d hits its dry spell very fast. From page 4 on we know in which way the story will drag itself along for another 6 pages. Boring (except for kids, maybe)\u2026<\/p>\n For a moment I feared that \u201cThe Haunting White Shadow\u201d would take the exact same story turn as \u201cDry Doom\u201d, but then it gets quite psychedelic and interesting to follow. Lady Justice in person capturing two thugs in a cave and teasing them with ghost money?!<\/strong> See it posted in our \u201cStories\u201d section.<\/p>\n Do you remember the 1990 movie \u201cFlatliners\u201d? That\u2019s what \u201cDeath\u2019s Round Trip<\/a>\u201d is about. A young doctor drugging himself controlled to death \u2013 and to be revived after some minutes. Dr. Carlton takes a tourist trip into the realm of death<\/strong>. Out of sheer curiosity. But what did curiosity to the cat?! (rhetorical question, yes)<\/em><\/p>\n Fawcett artist: „Jokerface“<\/p><\/div>\n New artist in line \u2013 and we don\u2019t know who he is (yet<\/em>). I christened him \u201cJokerface<\/strong>\u201d, because he loves to draw sketchy, elongated faces like the Joker\u2019s (from BATMAN, of course); not so much in this, his first job for FAWCETT HORROR. BTT #3 is certainly Fawcett\u2019s horror psychedelia issue<\/strong>! <\/p>\n BEWARE! TERROR TALES #4 \u201cRevolt Of The Fingers\u201d (Bob McCarty + ?) Artwork is strangely \u201coff\u201d in this issue. These ARE McCarty and Moldoff, but possibly inked by someone else. Last story looks like a solo effort by new FAWCETT HORROR recruit Maurice Gutwirth<\/strong>; that guy is a mystery. Veteran artist for Standard, Prize and Quality from 1940-46, re-emerges for a stint at ACE HORROR in 1951, appears shortly at Fawcett and Fiction House in 1952, then vanishes from the face of the earth.<\/p>\n Canadian piano legend Glenn Gould<\/strong> seems to be the model for the character of pianist Antonini Bellt in \u201cRevolt Of The Fingers\u201d, a musician talking to and coaching his fingers while playing, though Gould did not become a household name in the US before the year 1954\/55\u2026 To me \u201cThe Black Candle Of Life<\/a>\u201d was a bland ghost story with a happy ending. But read it on Karswell\u2019s blog and please study the comments<\/strong> there! You will be surprised how much SEXUAL SYMBOLISM<\/strong> can be read into this tale. And they didn\u2019t even mention \u201cMarjorie reaching the summit\u2026\u201d on page 6. Tee hee\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n You don’t have to be Dr. Freud to get funny thoughts looking at these pictures…<\/p><\/div>\n \u201cThe Crawling Horror\u201d is the living slime story promoted on the cover, a wildly nonsensical story about mad science. A flesh eating protoplasmic blob powered and aided by an electronical brain!<\/strong> Pity that the artwork chores lie with Maurice Gutwirth who can\u2019t even draw a cat (see page 6)! Discovered something while researching this particular issue on the internet: Whole issue is posted<\/strong> at FODAL <\/a>(the Free Online Digital Archive Library): Many of Fawcett\u2019s horror books (none else) are to be found here. And a lot of classic Golden Age comic books. Fun to browse! <\/p>\n \u201cThe Horrors Of The 13th Stroke\u201d (Sheldon Moldoff) Editorial change in FAWCETT HORROR: All books now feature four, not three stories<\/strong>. About time. They were getting tedious. And they have to keep up with the growing competition. The pre-code horror craze cranks into high gear in 1953, offering fast paced madness.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Horrors Of The 13th Stroke<\/a>\u201d\u00a0(scroll down to second story to read it on Pappy’s delightful Golden Age Blogzine<\/em>) is about a fantastic parallel world, a \u201cgateway of horrors\u201d where fiendish ghouls prey on human victims. This could have been something, but the writer serves us only threats – and strives for a happy ending. Too bad. \u201cThe Lonely One!\u201d is the first horror \u201cshort\u201d<\/strong> (only 5 pages) and a clear misfire. Story has an EC-ish feel about it and is somehow dissatisfying. Engineered around a twist for a twist\u2019s sake. Hollow. What about the next shorts? Truly fantastic fun, however, presents \u201cReturn Of The Dead!\u201d, wherein a gypsy girl named \u201cCantina\u201d (that\u2019s Spanish for \u201ckitchen\u201d, folks!<\/em>) performs wondrous s\u00e9ances. A cloud forms over her head \u2013 and the deceased climb out of it back into the world of the living!<\/strong> <\/p>\n \u201cHorror At The Lighthouse!\u201d (Sheldon Moldoff) Unidentified cover artwork on the last three issues of BTT. Starting with this one. Although I like to think this might be a last one by Baily\u2026 \u201cHorror At The Lighthouse!\u201d feels a bit like a variation of that George Evans classic, \u201cThe Metamorphosis Of The Gkmloooms\u201d, from WORLDS OF FEAR #3. A man getting sucked to the bottom of the sea by alien underwater creatures and having to succumb to their wishes. It\u2019s a rather poor copy, trying to spice up a conventional lighthouse keeper-encounters-sea-monster tale.<\/p>\n And it\u2019s another d\u00e9j\u00e0-vu with \u201cThe Tattooed Heart!\u201d, a Nazi atrocity story<\/strong> which brings back fond memories of \u201cThe Devil\u2019s Due\u201d from THIS MAGAZINE IS HAUNTED #2. In both stories, the commander of a concentration camp can escape justice (for the time being), but is hunted down by the ghosts\/zombies of his victims and put to death in a cruel fashion. Let\u2019s take a moment to ponder over Fawcett\u2019s prose. Their horror writing is very good. It\u2019s dark and ominous \u2013 without ever drifting into the zany kind of prose you\u2019ll find in other books. They walk a thin line here; and they never fall.<\/p>\n \u201cSearch Into The Unknown!\u201d is enjoyable as well. Two Americans get in the way of Indian fakirs \u2013 and are getting licked<\/strong>, boy! After reading this story, pause for a moment and consider the story logic: If all of the fakirs\u2019 feats are just tricks, why aren\u2019t they? I mean they DO work as we are shown panel by panel \u2013 and like hell. <\/p>\n BEWARE! TERROR TALES #7 That\u2019s a great cover; in my opinion. But also singular. No other FAWCETT HORROR cover looked like this. Unidentified artist.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cDeath always wins\u201d is the morale of the falsely (trickily) titled \u201cThe Man Who Defeated Death!\u201d (he does not, of course). Entertaining yarn about a chess master playing chess with Death himself \u2013 and trying to drive some bargains\u2026<\/p>\n A cameo artist contributes \u201cDripping Terror<\/a>\u201d (a weak curse\/revenge story) \u2013 this might be one Anthony Cataldo, who is rumored to have worked for Fawcett\u2019s WHIZ COMICS in the early 50s (possibly drawing the \u201cGolden Arrow\u201d feature). Also a bottle on the table in the splash wears the label \u201cAC\u201d, Anthony Cataldo. That we call a \u201chidden signature\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Get aboard the \u201cLast Express!\u201d \u2013 this story is a train wreck. More precisely about<\/span> a train wreck. I skipped through the pages, actually, because you see where this is going right from the start. A moody piece of Moldoff, though, with hints and homage to Graham Ingels\u2026<\/p>\n And it\u2019s a wrap for this issue with a wonderfully nonsensical pre-code horror story: \u201cThe Walking Cadaver<\/a>\u201d is a purely insane tale about a man renting out youthful bodies of dead people to rich old men<\/strong> (not to fool around with, good heavens, no, but to \u201ctransmigrate\u201d the soul into them and feel young again). The story\u2019s first victim is logic<\/strong>, of course. What about the processes of bodily decomposition? Do not start asking questions<\/strong>; go read it on Karswell\u2019s fantastic blog \u201cThe Horrors Of It All\u201d.<\/p>\n Whole issue is also posted at FODAL <\/a>(the Free Online Digital Archive Library).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cThe Man Who Could Fly!\u201d (Bob Powell) One of the outstanding Fawcett horror covers. Who did this? The scan does not reflect the beauty of this title page<\/strong>. I had the chance to hold it in my hands. As mentionend otherwhere, most FAWCETT HORROR covers<\/strong> (not the ones by Saunders, mind you!; they were beautiful enough in itself<\/em>) sported a kind of metallic glimmer effect<\/strong>. Tilt this one slightly into the light – and the reddish stew of the cauldron will emanate a stylish glow. Absolutely… delicious!<\/p>\n Followed by a nice, but rather bland Bob Powell 12-pager: \u201cThe Man Who Could Fly!<\/a>\u201d. Then we encounter a neat, but foreseeable tale of self-fulfilling prophesy (\u201cTomorrow Is Today<\/a>\u201d), done in Moldoff style, but possibly ghosted by Ed Moline.<\/p>\n Most interesting is the last contribution, executed in unusual panels. \u201cBlack Tunnel Of Mesa Verde!\u201d is about the ghost of an Indian warrior sabotaging a railroad line. It\u2019s beautiful art the likes FAWCETT HORROR hasn\u2019t seen before.<\/strong> There’s an Alex Toth feel to it as if the (unknown) artist has been studying the horror books from STANDARD. A very \u201cso la la\u201d last issue, you won\u2019t miss a book like this.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Let\u2019s conclude our findings with the usual Who-did-What and how much listing<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Each 1: Mike Sekowsky + Vince Alascia, Harry Harrison, Ross Andru, Anthony Cataldo.<\/p>\n Artwork in 3 stories remains unidentified.<\/p>\n No George Evans, Bernard Baily <\/strong>(except covers, of course) or Ed Waldman in this series!<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Editors of these books are Roy Ald (#1 + #2), Mercedes Shull (#3 + #4).

\n<\/b>Ach, I know who this is! Just getting the right vibe by coincidentally looking at this again. This is our mystery artist, whom I christened \u201cFacet-o\u2019-Fawcett\u201d!<\/strong> See above, notes to issue #6. We still have no name for this person, but I\u2019m sure it\u2019s him (or her). The overall look, the eyes\u2026 I wonder if our mysterious illustrator might be responsible for the two other uncredited covers (#6 and #7).
\nThat gorgeous #7 could be his (or her) work \u2013 inked by someone else, of course!<\/p>\n![\"BlackTunnel1\"](\"http:\/\/charm-of-charlton.de\/filecollection\/sites\/4\/2013\/09\/BlackTunnel1.jpg\")
<\/a>Last issue by the way \u2013 and we\u2019re back to three long stories (plus two one-page fillers). Again this issue is posted at FODAL (but just the first two stories plus first filler) \u2013 click on underlined titles.
\nIssue leads off with a touching text story<\/strong> (\u201cPlace of Death\u201d) about an American soldier finding his way into Valhalla.<\/p>\n
\nI was thinking this could be Steve Kirkel (who did two crime stories for Fawcett this summer), but Jim pointed me to Bill Discount, who had demonstrated his ability for swiping Toth half a year before in \u201cTerror Stalked The Secret City\u201d (ACE\u2019s WEB OF MYSTERY #16).
\nKirkel however returns to contribute work for CHARLTON HORROR. Since I don\u2019t want to rule him out, I put both names down here.
