House of Monsters from Horror Tales

House of Monsters
from Horror Tales (Eerie Publications)
Vol. 2, No. 1, January 1970


As Halloween 2018 draws near, it's time to up the horror quotient here at the PorPor Books Blog.

Dick Ayers went all-out with the mayhem in this tale from the third issue of Horror Tales

Ayers doesn't just render a severed limb, he lovingly pencils in torn arteries, torn ligaments, and exposed bone...............ulllettt !

Indeed, while it's likely the bloodiest of any story appearing in the Carl Burgos / Myron Fass horror comics of the 70s, other stories in the same issue were almost as explicit - ! 

They don't make them like this anymore...........nor sell them to kids, like they did in the 70s ! (Try passing this issue of Horror Tales around a contemporary junior high school, and see what happens............)
