Satan sends Corrupta to Greenwich Village in a sneaky effort to capture his sister Devilina’s soul. Atlas (Seaboard) apes Warren’s B&W-magazine style with this C-list collection stories from the likes of Ric Estrada, John Albano, Frank Thorne and others.
READDracula hooks up with his fourth cousin and their progeny would eventually terrorize coeds in New York City. Excellent Frank Thorne art can’t save this subpar one off from Gary Friedrich.
READTargitt heads to Alaska to foil a plot by an American corporation and Third-World powers to manipulate world oil prices. Gabriel Levy and Ric Meyers’ story might have limited appeal, but the visual storytelling – by 1950s comic-book artist Howard Nostrand – is strong.
READA hideous-looking bog beast escapes from the La Brea Tar Pits to explore and study the human condition. This lead feature by John Albano and Jack Sparling has a spark of potential – but just a spark. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for the rest of this poor-man’s EC.
READPhoenix tries to save a village from a yeti army controlled by Satan – who is actually an alien in disguise! The lead story by Gabriel Levy and Sal Amendola is a bit off, but a backup feature with nice art from Pat Broderick and Terry Austin brings up this issue’s average.
READWhen a real vampire causes trouble for a horror-movie crew, it’s up to The Cougar to save the day. Not great yet strangely enjoyable, this debut issue by Steve Mitchell, Dan Adkins and Frank Springer is fairly typical of the Atlas (Seaboard) line.
READRevenge arrives from Africa in the form of the Blue Leopard, who stalks the streets of New York seeking Tiger-Man. A subpar outing from comics legends Gerry Conway and Steve Ditko.
READWhen a young girl plunges to her death, Tigerman tracks down those who traffic in runaways and extracts bloody revenge. This first appearance of Tigerman by John Albano and Ernie Colón kicks off a solid but unspectacular B&W anthology magazine from Atlas (Seaboard).
READOfficers Dave Greenberg and Bob Hantz bust petty crooks by hiding in coat racks and packing cartons. Based on a 1974 movie, there’s not much super to these stories by Marv Channing, Gray Morrow, Frank Thorne and others.
