There's no way this could ever go wrong...
This Hallowe'en season, I thought I'd spotlight one of my favourite Golden Age artists, Basil Wolverton. When this prolific fellow wasn't drawing humour features for Timely and Charlton, or gonky illustrations for MAD, he lent his distinctively grotesque vision to weird tales (horror, SF, or a combination thereof) for a variety of publishers. Fortunately, some of these publishers' titles are now in the public domain, so I can post them in full. Let's begin with the story of an inventor blessed with wealth and fame, but cursed with disfigurement and loneliness.
Warning for abuse.
