A 1950s horror comic just wasn't complete without a host...
...so here's a slew of the crew from Comic Media horror titles Weird Terror and Horrific (our focus for this year's Countdown to Halloween blogathon), along with their ringleader, the debonair Teller (no relation to legendary Las Vegas-based magician Penn's silent partner)!
How many horror hosts narrate their own origin story?
While the writer for this never-reprinted scare-story from Comic Media's Horrific #8 (1953) is unknown, the art is by the extremely-underrated Don Heck, who did some of his best work for Comic Media's twin terror-titles Horrific and Weird Terror!
He would later be one of the primary illustrators in the Silver Age of Comics working on extended runs of such Marvel series as Iron Man, Ant-Man/Giant-Man and the Wasp, Avengers, Spider-Man, Captain Marvel, and X-Men!
