Try and top THAT for detail, I.N.D.U.C.K.S! ...Aw, we're just kidding... We love I.N.D.U.C.K.S! It's the most valuable source for information on the world-wide totality of Disney comic books!

...Or "Blot, Out! II - The Sequel"!
The TWILIGHT ZONE, BORIS KARLOFF TALES OF MYSTERY, and RIPLEY'S BELIEVE IT OR NOT titles published by Gold Key Comics were known for their beautifully painted covers...
...Mostly by a talented painter named George Wilson, who also painted covers for VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA, STAR TREK and other Gold Key titles.
Far be it from me to question the technique of such an amazing artist, but there was the matter of TWILIGHT ZONE # 43 (Gold Key Comics, Cover Date: May, 1972)...

That even LOOKS LIKE ME, in 1972 that is! |

...DIDN'T BREAK!
You've heard of people who "stand behind their words", but how often do you see someone "stand ahead" of them?
Well, I've found one in the pages of RIPLEY'S BELIEVE IT OR NOT - TRUE GHOST STORIES # 81 (Gold Key Comics, Cover Date: September, 1978)
Let's zoom in on this page for a closer look!
Here is the opening splash panel to "Message in a Nutshell - Part II", the Paul Murry Mickey Mouse serial appearing in WALT DISNEY'S COMICS AND STORIES #381 (Gold Key Comics, Cover Date: June, 1972).
We, along with a very large segment of America, are saddened by the loss of radio and television talk legend Larry King on January 23, 2021, at the age of 87.
At TIAH Blog, we mourn the passing of Milwaukee and Atlanta Braves baseball legend Henry (Hank) Aaron, who passed away at the age of 86.
Hank Aaron was already a superstar when I began watching baseball in 1967 (when the terms "superstar" and "legend" were not thrown around with the casual abandon they are today), but will be forever remembered for the day in 1974 when he hit home run #715 - passing Babe Ruth's lifetime total of 714.
For insane and unfathomable reasons of racism, many people were unhappy on that day, April 08, 1974. I will confess to being "unhappy" too... but merely because the home run record no longer belonged to a New York Yankee (Ruth).
