Black and White Wednesday: "A Second Life" by Ramon Torrents

Dig it, Groove-ophiles! Though it only lasted two issues, Atlas/Seaboard's Weird Tales of the Macabre was loaded with lots of far-out and fiendishly freaky fables. One of 'em, from ish #1 (October 1974), is a cult-ish classic with it's take on the old Vanishing Hitchhiker urban myth, mixed with a simply Seventies serving of Satanism. This one's kinda gory, so look out as Ramon Torrents warns of the evil that is..."A Second Life!"

Black and White Wednesday: "Time Lapse" by Funnell and Duranona

Hey, hey, hey, Groove-ophiles! Did'ja ever get a case of deja vu all over again? Well, get ready for another spine-tingling sensation as you read Augustine Funnell and Leo Duranona's "Time Lapse" from Atlas/Seaboard's Weird Tales of the Macabre #1 (October 1974)!

Black and White Wednesday: "Speed Demon" by Ernie Colon

Check it out, Groove-ophiles! During Atlas/Seaboard's short but oh-so-memorable life, writer/artist Ernie Colon not only worked on Tiger-Man and The Grim Ghost, but he also found time to write and draw this short shocker for the first ish of Weird Tales of the Macabre (cover-dated January 1975)! Can you dig "Speed Demon", race fans?

Black and White Wednesday: George Kashdan and John Severin's "Who Toys With Terror"

In December, 1974, Atlas/Seaboard released the second issue of their Creepy/Eerie rip-off, Weird Tales of the Macabre. Rip-off it might've been, but it was a very well crafted mag. With guys like John Severin, Pat Boyette, Leo Summers, George Kashdan, Gabe Levy, and cover artist Boris Vallejo writing and drawing, you know there's quality stuff in there. Ol' Groove's favorite story from ish #2 is also appropriate for the Holiday Season as it shows you don't mess with a kid and his toys... Here's "Who Toys With Terror" by George Kashdan (writer) and John Severin (artist)!
