Another Hallowe'en / Costumed for Crime!

We have a big horror double-feature now playing over at THOIA for Halloween this year, and AEET equally has you covered here as well. It's a killer crime pair-up from the Golden Age of precode comics, as Master magician, Blackstone is on the case at an appropriately set masquerade ball in "Costumed for Crime!" from the May 1948 issue of Blackstone the Magician #2. Yeah, if only my own holiday shindigs were this exciting! But first up, a criminally overlooked gem from the one-shot issue of Monster Crime #1 (October 1952) via Hillman Publication. Unfortunately, GCD has no listing for an artist for either the story, or that great cover design-- now isn't THAT a monstrous crime too! And speaking of monsters, earlier this month I showed you my Labubu Trick or Treater, and since Labubu's actually are monsters, here comes a cute couple now featuring plush pendant Labubu in a sitting Halloween pumpkin costume, while darlin' date Mokoko stuns 'em all in her black 'n orange witch attire! And don't miss the Labubu encore at the very end of this post too, because this time it comes in a smaller style vinyl keychain variant that lights up in the dark! Here's hoping that everyone has a safely sinister evening of Hallowe'en thrills 'n chills-- and we will see you again shortly in November for much, much more!
