Halloween 2016: "The Man from Transilvane!" and "Genocide Spray!" by Kirby and Colletta

HAPPY HALLOWEEN, Groove-ophiles! How much more Groovy Age All Hallow's Eve can you get than Jack Kirby orchestrating a battle between the team of Superman, Jimmy Olsen, and the Newsboy Legion vs...the King's own version of our beloved Universal Monsters, Dracula, the Wolf Man, and Frankenstein's Monster? Check those apples for razor blades, break out the candy, sit back and enjoy, baby!

"The Man from Transilvane!" from Jimmy Olsen #142 (August 1971)...
























and "Genocide Spray!" from J.O. #143 (September 1971)...




















Aside from the annoying Murphy Anderson Superman and Olsen heads...kinda nifty, huh?
