Boris Karloff Tales Of Mystery.

Just look at this issue of Boris Karloff Tales of Mystery, number #51 from December 1973. is a great wee title based on the anthology series of the same name. The comic follows the same basic theme with Mr Karloff acting as host introducing us to a world of bad dreams and nightmares.
            In this issue there are stories involving pirates and sea monsters, a forest beast and ancient burial mounds, Giant alien beetles in the sewers and off course a beach being menaced by a monstrous snail.
             They do not get too hung up on explanations for the appearance of the giant snail; ".. a bestial cry that has not pierced the air for 100 million years. A giant prehistoric shelled creature! it was hibernating in some fantastic way, and the rock slide freed it!"
             100 million years. That is one long snooze.
             Its a story called She Sells Seashells.
             Try saying that fast.
              Check out Mr Karloff in his scuba gear. He wears it with such gravitas.
