For our first visit to the Digital Comic Museum this year, we blow the cobwebs off Story Comics' Dark Mysteries Issue 23, from May 1955. This was uploaded to the museum by MarkBoersma, so thanks go to them for providing the original scans.
A spooky old locket is given to a man with a promise that the woman to whom he gives it will be forever bonded to him.
I think we can all guess how this is going to go.....
Hmm...So Marcy thought she had quick-stepped out of Captain Austen's life, but as expected he just waltzed back in again! She must have felt like she took one step forward, and went two steps back!
Well, she did say she was dying to get Jeb's locket....so she danced right into that one by herself!
Never mind, I'm sure Jeb's ghost will keep her on her toes!
(..sorry...)

Before you head off, be sure to pop over to the Countdown hub by clicking the badge below and check out what the other Cryptkeepers are up to! I know that Vraie Fiction has a cool kids magazine to show you, for instance....
And remember that tonight I'll hopefully be doing a stream at around 9pm UK time featuring some Gruesome Games on my Twitch channel....
Otherwise, pop back here tomorrow for some more spooky shenanigans!
Poor Marcy - stuck for all eternity with a boring funeral dude who murdered her all for want of something shiny.
ReplyDeleteYeah, the morals are a bit all over the place with this one!
DeleteWill read it ASAP. Looks very similar to the legend of Rose Latulippe.
ReplyDeleteSimilar, but with more of a lean to the usual horror-comic revenge tales!
