Number 1807: Hooray for Halloween Horror: While the Cat’s Away

Here is the third posting in our Halloween week offerings. Today, a tale from Jack Davis and Al Feldstein, published originally in The Vault of Horror #34 (1953).

Let us get one thing straight: this story is a joke; it is what I consider a shaggy dog story. It builds and builds and then...the end. I don’t want anyone writing and asking me how these two dolts could hide out in the tunnels under an old house, all the while being chased by vampires, werewolves and zombies, and eventually escape. It’s a joke!

Jack Davis had the ability to draw horror comics, and also draw some of the funniest stuff ever published in comic books. It is a gift.

More Davis horror, featuring the infamous “Foul Play,” which was represented by an illustration in Seduction of the Innocent. Just click on the thumbnail.
