Mystery Number

Walpurgisnacht is just around the corner, and as always, we prepare for it accordingly with weird and mysterious postings to celebrate said halfway point to Halloween! And looky here, the January 9th, 1926 issue of JUDGE magazine, (aka the "Mystery Number" special) is preposterously possessed with just what dastardly 'Ol Scratch himself hath ordered! So if a silly supernatural kick to the funny bone is what you crave, prepare yourself for a perfect peek into the pop culture keyhole of 1920's stage and screen, the who-dunits, ghost stories, spiritualism, politics, jazz music (!!!), romance, cars, cats, and more! Not to mention the awesome array of imaginative illustrative talent on hand here as well, in particular, Jefferson Machamer with his gorgeous stylized drawings and Hella handsome, spiraling lettering, --as also featured HERE via one of the more revealing "ADULTS ONLY!" posts in the AEET Archive
