Mining For Gold(en): "To Catch a God!" and "Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow..."

Greetings, Groove-ophiles! It's been a while since we've mined the comicbook caverns search of some Michael Golden mind-benders, so here's a Tuesday two-fer from issues 257 (December 1977) and 259 (April 1978) of DC's House of Mystery to help us play catch-up. Our first find for the day is "To Catch a God!", written by Barry Jameson...


...We shouldn't be greedy (should we?), so we'll finish the day with one more Golden groove, this one written by the team of Dave Manak and David Michelinie. It's called, "Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow..."

Weird Sunday Funnies

Beware! Even the Sunday Funnies must fall prey to the curse that is...PLOP! DC's legendary magazine of weird humor. Ol' Groove will be giving you lots more info on that macabre mag of mirth in the near future. All you need to know right now is that PLOP! was filled with enough twisted humor to keep even a vampire with a toothache laughing for a whole month of Sundays! For example, from PLOP! #7 (July, 1973) the monster-ous mirth of Lee Marrs and my pal Steve Skeates...

And for good measure, Jack Oleck and Dave Manak unleash their own twisted tale of haunted humor...

Get on the stick and release these gems in a Showcase volume already, DC!
