Random Reads: "The Doomsday Trapeze" by Fleisher and Green
Just a quickie, today, Groove-ophiles! A short-and-sweet terror tale written by Michael Fleisher and drawn by Dan Green. From Forbidden Tales of Dark Mansion #14 (September 1973), prepare yourself for..."The Doomsday Trapeze"!
A fun revenge tale, the last couple panels are a good play on light and shadow, it almost looks like a different artist did them. Contains the fun comic/movie trope that certain parts of the human skeleton would stay together as a complete set once removed and cleaned.
Special thanks to Mike's Amazing World of Comics and Grand Comics Database for being such fantastic resources for covers, dates, creator info, etc. Thou art treasures true!

As for the rest of ya, the purpose of this blog is to (re)introduce you to the great comics of the 1970s. If you like what you see, do what I do--go to a comics shop, bookstore, e-Bay or whatever and BUY YOUR OWN!
This was a lot grislier than the usual DC mystery fare. Should've ended with "Good Lord! *Choke*!"
