Today I am joinging my internet friends Booksteve and Karswell in celebrating the Archives of Horror from Yoe Books at IDW. In theis beautifully designed series of one shots Craig Yoe and his collaborators share the best of fifties horror that does not have the name EC or Timely attached to it. I first got in touch with craig over the Jack Cole stories, some of which I highlighted on my blog in the early years. With IDW Craig has created a Halloween promotion for fans of horror and good books from the continent of the U.S. of A. I am honoring these books by share one of he many horror stories by Bob Powell which is NOT in the book (but what's there, is just as good).

What a great story! Powell's become a real favorite of mine over the years since I first encountered him drawing Marvel's HUMAN TORCH!
Powell is an amazing draftsman, with a great flair for horror based on an Eisnerian sense of storytelling.
