And now, three panels from Adventures into Darkness #9 (1953)…
…that may or may not be from the same story, I don’t recall, as I scanned these panels a while back, and we’ve since sold the comic so I can’t double check. But they kinda sorta tell a story when placed together like this anyway…at least, it makes about as much sense as some of those old horror comics did:
But what if the mackerel in question was dead, too? “This man is exactly as dead as a dead mackerel!” “Oh no!”
The guy in the first panel looks like Ernie Kovacs.
Three pages later, after ruminating on how dead a mackerel is…
You should have been a horror comics editor in the 1950’s.
I honestly expected the third one to be “THEN…KOREA!”
Mike, of course you have seen this.

“Bat! A Bat! A Vampire Bat! Doe! A Deer! A Female Deer!”
I think the guy in the first panel looks more like Sammy Davis, Jr.
