It's huge; and I don't understand how it can be six decades old and it still doesn't even have a dent in it. Not that I can see.<br /><br />Even the light bulb works. Looking at the pictures full-size, I can see that the plastic bits look like tombstone marble. Like this thing's crafted out of the <i>Phantasm</i> set. That's such a cool touch. <br /><br />I liked the stories too, of course. I would have never known that was Maneely. Not that I'm particularly good at spotting artists. The only part that really looks like his stuff to me is panel one, page three.

The comics, the ad, the Mickey game and the bank made this a fun fright Friday! <br /><br />Nowadays people wouldn't avoid a haunted house, urban explorers, ghost hunters and metal detector hobbyists search out haunted houses. For metal detectorists, the older the house, the older the coins, and to paraphrase that old line from the 80's 'they ain't afraid of no ghosts'. <br />Just keep any detectorist away from your haunted house bank or they will get all the loot the ghost miser has gathered from you.<br /><br /> JMR777https://www.blogger.com/profile/03538238702295526065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136311233296776036.post-71176201233251466552021-03-26T08:55:32.758-05:002021-03-26T08:55:32.758-05:00The ending to Haunted is all but obvious but what ...The ending to Haunted is all but obvious but what really sells it is the Maneely ghost -- yow -- now that's a guy that got a ton of molten metal poured over him! The smashed and broken skull/head is pretty ghastly!<br /><br />The Haunted House bank is incredible; I had completely forgotten about those ads but do remember always wanting to know what they looks like -- and it's incredible! The detail is great, and I love the light cutting out right when the ghost (kind of) snags the coin.<br /><br />I don't know about the Top Notch comic, though, dialects in word balloons have always been something I was never a fan of (I'm looking at you, Gambit.) I'm probably in the minority here! Still, it's got good gags on it and I like the art.<br />Brian Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15737535617796413548noreply@blogger.com
