Yeah, yeah...So I missed yesterday! I had to head back to the parents' house, and by the time I got back and got set up, it was almost midnight...and then because they had had a powercut the other night, my laptop that I use here took forever to start up, meaning it was 12.30 by the time it was ready...so I just gave up trying to post!
But we're back up and running today! And so let's take another trip to the Digital Comic Museum, where I've found a story I'm going to post just so as I can add an awesome music track for you to listen to after you've read it....
Once again it was uploaded to the museum by MarkBoersma so thanks go to them, and it comes from the pages of Youthful Magazines' Chilling Tales, Issue 14, dated February 1953!
For those who don't know, this comic is based upon The Rime of the Ancient Mariner (originally The Rime of the Ancyent Marinere), written by English poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge in 1797–98 and published in 1798 in the first edition of Lyrical Ballads.
This poem was also the inspiration for the song of the same title, by British heavy metal legends, Iron Maiden which I heard as a kid, loving the creepy bit in the middle where it goes all quiet and you can hear the creaking of the ship as the actual poem is recited! Give it a listen below and revel in its awesomeness!

I wonder what happened to the bird. Did it disintegrate?
