These were waiting on my porch yesterday just as the rain was coming in so feeling pretty lucky (although it was packaged well and probably mostly waterproof). Both are WW2 age and reflect the time in their artwork and stories. You got to love some of the titles/character names on the covers.

Interesting use of multiple covers on one main cover.

I do believe they’ll be candidates for grading in the future.

On another note, my Strange Twisted Tales Comic reached the Top 100 paid on Amazon in the Mystery Manga category. Here’s a screen shot that I’m happy to show off. Look at my competition on either side. Don’t ask me why Manga Mystery since I’m in the comic section as well and under the horror category but I’ll take it…

And another shameless plug. I have several books (not comics) that are only 99 cents for you in the pics/links below. I hope you’ll consider purchasing them for your next dark fantasy read.

This first book of the series introduces a hard-boiled detective name Ray Irish as he goes from a tramp to one of the few people in Oyster City trying to stop a demon and his cult from taking over. Preview all of the Irish books here.

Also, if you like more fantasy based stories, I have five books of the Clovel Sword series.

These stories focus upon a scarred warrior who must take on the gods of Kamin while trying to maintain his honor amid the chaos and betrayal of the elders who rule the lands. You can start the series here for only 99 cents.

Don’t forget to share my blog with your friends who have an interest in dark fantasy and horror comics/novels.
