Mister Miracle #11

[laughing_tree]

You don’t want to reveal the actual epic that’s inside of you. The core of you. That’s something that you always keep hidden from everyone. The actual struggles you have every day. You make up things, and you say things and biographers or autobiographers write about them. The real hidden secrets and the real hidden battles—that’s the story that you don’t want told. You don’t want that exposed. That’s what we’re doing for Mister Miracle. He’s confronting that part of him that doesn’t want to be told. -- Tom King

Frankenstein Alive, Alive! #1

[cyberghostface]

For those who don't know, Bernie Wrightson once did illustrations for the novel Frankenstein and it's widely considered to be his definitive work. In my opinion it's the best visual depiction of the monster.

In 2012 he started what was going to be a 13-issue miniseries with Steve Niles that served as a 'sequel' to the original novel. The second issue was delayed by a few months and the third issue by two years. Bernie Wrightson passed away in 2017 but before he died he selected Kelley Jones to finish the fourth and final issue.

Granny Gumshoe in: Van Morbidd's Model

[alicemacher]

The ComicBookPlus.com annotator calls this Golden Age story "almost a send-up of Lovecraft's 'Pickman's Model,'" and for all I know the writer/artist could very well have had that story in mind.

( 'A-ahh... Such realistic horror! The color, it's too much for my nerves!' )

The Shadow was in the Twilight Zone.

[thanekos]

He'd stepped into it out of himself in 1939, into Lamont Cranston.

He'd stepped again, back two years and into another role.

Now, he was about to play the Shadow on the radio.
