Happy Halloween. My buddy Scott Shaw! has a treat, not a trick, up for his Oddball Comics feature over at Comic Book Resources. There, you can read the entirety of "The Monster of Dread End," a story that John Stanley wrote for Dell's Ghost Stories comic in 1962. As explained here, Dell had just separated from its alliance with Western Publishing and was starting a whole new line of comics, most of which weren't that wonderful. Most of the exceptions were the Dells written (and occasionally drawn) by John Stanley, who is now best remembered as the fine, talented writer of the Little Lulu comic books. He did a few uncharacteristic forays into scary comics and they were genuinely scary in a way that scary comics rarely are. A lot of us got chills when we read the tale that Scott makes available today, and it became a well-remembered moment in an otherwise long-forgotten comic book. If you'd like to be creeped out a little, go read it by clicking here.
