FOR BILL EVERETT LOVERS ONLY...like you

...you know you want it...and you...and you there...and you, too...and you in the mirror over there  --  oh that's me. That's just dandy 'cuz I got me a powerful hankerin' fer some classic Atlas Bill Everett stuff!  It is particularly appropriate since Everett could draw humor as well as horror, and he helps us bridge the gap as we transition from the horrors of Halloween into our heavy-on-the-humor-themed week here at THE BLOG AT THE END OF TIME. From WILD #2 (1954), here is SATAN IS WAITIN'!

A HALLOWEEN NIGHTMARE PT.2 - The Conclusion

We saw the frightening start to our Halloween nightmare yesterday.

Here is the exciting conclusion to BLOOD ON BLACK SATIN, by Doug Moench and Paul Gulacy.

This awesome story was originally published in a two-comic set called NIGHTMARES, from Eclipse Comics in 1985. Since the MASTER OF KUNG FU series for Marvel in the 70's, Gulacy has been a favorite of mine, heavily influenced by the Steranko style of comic art.

A HALLOWEEN NIGHTMARE - Paul Gulacy

So many creepy Halloween flavored comics to explore! In a couple of days, we'll be looking at all kinds of other genres - war, sci-fi, romance, humor,superhero, etc. - but for now let's keep digging into the fresh earth that covers these classic horror pages, and we'll unearth a few more gems! Here's a beauty by one of my favorite writer/artist teams, Doug Moench and Paul Gulacy. More on them in days to come. To explain the premise of the story, I've taken the liberty of singing the theme of the comic to you, as follows!
(kids, go ask your parents -- the rest who remember, *sing along to the tune of  'Nights In White Satin' by the Moody Blues)

* "Blood on Black Satin

yes, that's what I said,

town full of Satanist's

want to cut off your head

Some try to kill you

and your sexy girlfriend

then there's Beelzebub

and his cousin named Fred

and they'll kill youuuuuu

yes they'll kill youuuuuu, ahhhhh

ooowwww

ooooowwwww,  holy craaaappppp!"

*repeat verse ad nauseum

Now here is Part 1 (to be concluded tomorrow on Halloween)

End of Part 1.

Tomorrow: Part 2 - the exciting conclusion!

Don't miss it!!
