Happy Halloween From Riverdale

A happy Halloween, here from Riverdale, as Archie and the gang celebrate a couple of Halloweens (from 2018 and 2025), with an Archie Halloween Spectacular from each year...both drawn by Dan Parent.

Swamp Thing Gets The Point

Swamp Thing gets the point in two of his earlier covers (#15 and #16, March-April and May, 1975), both drawn by Nestor Redondo.

Strange Tales Of Doors

Doors mean nothing to undead menaces, as evidenced by these two covers by Sol Brodsky, for Strange Tales #21 (August, 1953) and Strange Tales #23 (October, 1953).

Celebrating Artist Jan Duursema

Celebrating artist Jan Duursema on her birthday (October 27, 1954) with a couple of her Warlord covers, featuring Travis Morgan and Tara facing an old Aquaman villain, the Scavenger, who was transformed into a magical menace as the Scavenger of Souls in Warlord #124 and #125 (December, 1987 and January, 1988).

Celebrating Artist Paris Cullins

Celebrating artist Paris Cullins on his birthday (October 26, 1960) with a couple of his Blue Beetle covers, featuring his Legends crossovers, and a battle with Chronos.  (Blue Beetle #9 and #10, February and March, 1987).

The Frankenstein Monster Meets Werewolf By Night

The Frankenstein Monster met the Werewolf By Night (Jack Russell) in Giant-Size Werewolf #2 (October, 1974) by Doug Moench, Don Perlin and Vince Colletta (and cover by Gil Kane and Tom Palmer, with alterations on the Frankenstein Monster by John Romita).  Here, Jack's sister was kidnapped by the Brotherhood of Baal to be a sacrifice, while the Monster was seeking Danton Vayla for help.  Vayla happened to be the leader of the brotherhood, and while Jack was trying to free his sister he turned into the Werewolf, leading to the Werewolf By Night and Frankenstein Monster fighting (eventually leading to her freedom and the death of Danton).

Clayface Is Back

Clayface is back...or so the cover said....but was he really?

Not so much, as it was scientist Preston Payne, distilling a sample from the second Clayface (Matt Hagen, more on him here), who triggered his own cellular degradation, forcing him to absorb others and live in a strength enhancing exoskeleton to stay alive.  This brought him into conflict with Batman, in these two issues of Detective Comics (#478 and #479, July-August and September-October, 1978) by Len Wein, Marshall Rogers and Dick Giordano.
