On a stormy night, a young man hitches a ride from a vampire – and lives to tell the tale! The lead feature is one of four sub-par stories from the likes of Enrique Nieto, Dick Piscopo and, thankfully, Tom Sutton (who also crafted that excellent cover!)

With Weird Tales of the Macabre, Atlas (Seaboard) was clearly looking to emulate Warren’s Creepy-and-Eerie formula. The short-lived company actually did a pretty good job of it, with nice art here from the likes of Jeffrey Catherine Jones, Pat Boyette, Ernie Colón and others.

Series host Colonel Whiteshroud explains the Monster Hunters Club to the visiting Countess Von Bludd. While a better debut than sister series Scary Tales, this first issue by the likes of Nicola Cuti, Joe Staton, Wayne Howard and others lacks any real creative spark.

Following World War II, twin infant brothers – one good, one scarred – are raised in a monastery and trained in the fighting arts. There’s nothing shockingly original here as writer Ed Fedory and artist Jim Craig team for a kung-fu tale typical of the era.

Tiger-Man’s investigation of a string of suspicious suicides brings him to blows with an insane psychiatrist named Dr. Hypnos. This lackluster affair from Gerry Conway, Steve Ditko and Al Milgrom brings this Atlas (Seaboard) series to a close.
READ
Revenge 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.

When 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).
READ
The crew of Moonbase Alpha encounters a race of extremely hostile aliens – or are they actually a peace-loving people? Fun but familiar, this is another decent outing from Nicola Cuti and a young John Byrne.
READ
The odd, one-and-done title from Whitman offers little in the way of either entertainment or credits. Still, it’s a competent and not-altogether-disappointing comic.
