Werewolf Hunter/Ghost Gallery


Today we've got two stories from Fiction House's Ghost Comics #3, and based on the artwork they're reprints from the 1940s.

I get in trouble when I try to identify artists, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say that "Werewolf Hunter" is drawn by Lily Renée and "Ghost Gallery" by Jack Kamen. Anyone out there agree/disagree?

She Kamen through the bedroom window…

Jack Kamen drew this outstanding entry in the Ghost Gallery* series for Jumbo Comics #93, November 1946.

Kamen had quite a way with pretty girls. Here’s a more current drawing by Kamen, from a scan sent recently by fan and collector Bill Leach to my friend Eddie Hunter.

Also, there's this original art by Harry Harrison from a similar story called “Bed of Murder” in EC Comics’ War Against Crime #11, published in 1950. Was this some sort of motif of the time in crime novels or movies, showing canopies of beds crushing and killing unwary sleepers?

*The very first Ghost Gallery was in Pappy’s #114.
