(P)Raising Kane: 13 Pages of Bad Luck With "The Eavesdropper" and "Hang Him High"
Seems we just finished Halloween, and here we are facing down a dread Friday the 13th! In honor of the day, Ol' Groove's dug deep into his fright-files for 13 pages of Gil Kane macabre magnificence. First up from Forbidden Tales of the Dark Mansion # (what else?) 13 (July 1973) here's "The Eavesdropper", inked by Ralph Reese!

ReplyDeleteWell, hello!
ReplyDeleteI just discovered you blog and must write to say I love it! Not only is the content excellent, but the layout of viewing the pages is novel and nicer to browse than
endless scrolling downwards!
The "You might also like" feature is excellent too.
Kudos!
A follower for sure, H_E_H
Always looking for something to make ya smile, Mighty Joe!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the Diversions, H_E_H! I'll do m'best to make coming here worth your while!
Groove, are you privy to any biographical info on Jack Oleck? The interweb is conspicuously void of anything on this man. Considering the sheer volume of material he produced for DC, and considering how important these tales were to my childhood, it's just an injustice. I'm assuming he's passed, but I can't even find out that...Any help will be greatly appreciated!
