Halloween Horror AIR FIGHTERS COMICS "Meets Misery!" Conclusion

Ten-Hut!
When we last saw World War II's popular teen aviator hero...

...A shadowy figure calling himself "Misery" threatens to shoot down any British aircraft he encounters...and does so with frightening efficiency!
AirBoy responds to the challenge, but is knocked unconscious by Misery's otherworldly "Air Tomb" which zaps him with an electric charge...

Misery did, indeed, return...several times...in both AirBoy's Golden Age and Bronze Age adventures!
Note: the Bronze Age (1980s) series from Eclipse featured the son of the original AirBoy, but the original (Golden Age) versions of the Heap, Sky Wolf, and Valkyrie, with whom, like his father, he became...intimate!

Halloween Horror AIR FIGHTERS COMICS "Meets Misery!" Part 1

Ten-Hut!
Aviators have been staples of heroic fiction for a century...

...and both pulps and comics had dozens of them!
This is a tale about one of the most popular ones (in both the 1940s and 1980s)!

To Be Concluded...
TOMORROW!
This never-reprinted story from Hillman's Air Fighters Comics V1N12 (1943) is the first appearance of Misery, one of teen aviator Airboy's ongoing supernatural foes (he had several)!

Apparently Airboy co-creators, writer Harry Stein and artist Fred Kida liked using mystic characters as a counterpoint to the science-based kid flyer!

Among the other foes (and friends) were Zzed, the Rat King, and The Heap!

Until tomorrow...

Halloween Horror VOODOO "Corpses of the Jury"

 Ten-HUT!
For Halloween, we're combining fictional horror with the real-life horrors of concentration camps!

Warning: NSFW!

Memories of World War II and the Nuremberg Trials were still fresh in peoples' minds when this tale was published in 1953 in Ajax/Farrell's Voodoo #5.
There were stories aplenty of hidden Nazis being tracked down, but most involved them being tried and executed by Allied (American/British/French) law-enforcement, not spectral beings, and certainly not in so gruesome, yet poetic, fashion.
BTW, the identities of any of the Iger Studio creatives associated with this tale are, sadly, unknown!

Until next time...

Dis-missed!
