Notes: $.60 for 64 pages. Helen Rudin’s last issue as Editorial Assistant. Boris Vallejo turns in his last and best Skywald cover. Future artists John Workman & Duffy Vohland send in letters. Jeff Rovin’s column, ‘The Psycho-Analyst’ interviews Al Hewetson. The back cover contains an ad for the never published Hell-Rider #3, and shows the intended cover art by Gray Morrow. In the story ‘Power Of The Pen’, the lead characters are modeled on Warren editor Archie Goodwin & Marvel editor Stan Lee! Best artwork is Ralph Reese’s great job on Jerry Siegel’s ‘Let The Dreamer Beware’. Best story is Tom Sutton’s nutty, but great ‘The Sewer Tomb Of Le Suub!’, yet another Parisian sewer tale. Other good stories & art were delivered by Doug Moench, Doug Wildey, Jerry Siegal, Marv Wolfman & Rich Buckler. 6. cover: Vicente Segrelles (May 1972) [Jeff Rovin is listed as Assistant Editor.] 1) Psycho’s Supernatural Series: Abrasax [Al Hewetson/Pablo Marcos] 1p [frontis] 2) The Vow!

Dennis Fujitake must have had a good laugh over that title for his story! This was Steve Englehart’s last outing as an artist, although he’s had a long and celebrated career as a comics writer. David Anthony Kraft delivers the best story here with ‘Kerene’ while Pablo Marcos has the best art for ‘The Terrible Tragedy Of The Tomented One!’. That story was by Marv Wolfman although the title certainly seems like Al Hewetson must have had a hand in it. 8. cover: Jose Mirelles (Sept. 1972) 1) The Theater Of Horror [Al Hewetson/Domingo Gomez]1p [frontis] 2) The Human Gargoyles, part 1: A Gargoyle—A Man [Al Hewetson/Felipe Dela Rosa] 10p 3) Scream Screen: Lon Chaney: A Thousand Faces Of Ultimate Horror [Al Hewetson/Pablo Marcos] 4p [text article w/photos] 4) Devil’s Woman [Marv Wolfman/Ross Andru & Mike Esposito] 10p 5) Psycho Delivery/The Psycho-Analyst [letters’ page/text article—Al Hewetson] 2p 6) Have You Ever Seen The Black Rain?

The first mention in this title regarding the ‘horror-mood’ appears. The Human Gargoyles serial made its debut, illustrated by Dela Rosa for this episode only. After this appearance, the serial moved to Nightmare, where it was drawn by Maelo Cintron. ‘The Psycho-Analyst’ makes its final appearance. ‘Scream Screen’ began a regular horror movie review column. The 1972 Psycho Annual appeared between this issue and #9. Definite reflections of the horror-mood are present in Hewetson’s ‘Have You Seen The Black Rain?’ and ‘The Filthy Little House Of Voodoo’, which were the best stories in this issue. Best art goes to Ramon Torrents with good work from Juez Xirinius and Felipe Dela Rosa. Jose Mirelles’ cover is also very nice. 9. cover: Domingo Gomez (Nov. 1972) [edited: Al Hewetson] 1) Horror-Mood Introduction [Al Hewetson/Pablo Marcos] 2p [intro by the Slither-Slime Man, frontis & titlepage] 2) The Slither-Slime Man [Al Hewetson/Pablo Marcos] 7p 3) Ghastly Reunion [Doug Moench/Ramon Torrents] 6p 4) Psycho Scribblings [Al Hewetson/Pablo Marcos & Ernie Colon] 2p [text article w/spot illos] 5) …Suffer The Little Children [Al Hewetson/Villanova] 8p [sequel to Henry James’ The Turn Of The Screw]
6) Ghouls Of The Cinema! [Al Hewetson/Pablo Marcos] 4p [text article w/photos] 7) A Plot Of Dirt [Doug Moench/Felipe Dela Rosa] 10p 8) A Question Of Identity!!! [Ed Fedory/Zesar Lopez] 8p 9) Voodoo Initation [Al Hewetson/Pablo Marcos] 1p 10) The Graveyard Jungle [Al Hewetson/Juez Xirinius] 8p 11) All The Ways And Means To Die [Jeff Jones] 8p from the story ‘All The Myraid Ways’ by Larry Niven 12) Ad for Nightmare #10 [Al Hewetson/Berni Wrightson]1p [on inside back cover] Notes: The Slither-Slime Man is cover featured. Hewetson must have loved the Slither-Slime Man as he used him as a quasi-mascot representing the Horror-Mood and in various cameos although he would only appear in one additional story. The ‘Horror-Mood’ declaration is now a permanent part of the cover. Herschel Waldman listed as co-publisher. The letters’ page mentions a script submission from future comic writer Roger McKenzie. It also includes a favorable mention of the French magazine Pilote with a picture of a recent cover. Also on the letters’ page, Al Hewetson responses to Jim Warren’s Xerox Award insult. Best story here is Hewetson’s ‘The Slither-Slime Man’, although Doug Moench and Ed Fedory also turn in good stories. Best art is by Zesar Lopez, making his Skywald debut on ‘A Question Of Identity!!!’. Larry Niven’s SF story would also be adapted by Doug Moench & Vicente Alcazar for Marvel’s Unknown Worlds Of Science Fiction title in 1975. This version, by Jeff Jones, was done in 1971 and originally intended for the aborted Science Fiction Odyssey #1. The inside back cover ad not only identified Nightmare’s new child vampire host for the first time, it was also the only time the name was mentioned in any Skywald book. 10. cover: Pablo Marcos & Fernando Fernandez (Jan. 1973) 1) Introduction [Al Hewetson/Pablo Marcos] 2p [frontis & titlepage] 2) The Suicide Werewolf [Al Hewetson/Pablo Marcos] 10p 3) The Legend Of The Man-Macabre [Al Hewetson/Villanova] 9p 4) …Peter Piper Picked A Peck Of Pickled Corpses… [Al Hewetson/Maelo Cintron] 6p 5) The Legend Of An 18th Century Gentleman: H.

The story ‘The Horror Within & Without’ was done in 1971 and originally intended for the aborted Science Fiction Odyssey #1. A photo of Maelo Cintron graced the letters’ page, where it was revealed that former news photographer Al Hewetson took all contributor photos. The Heap series ended with an uncharacteristic happy ending {the Heap is taken in by his parents to live as normal a life as a horrific looking monster can}, and a question was asked of the readers: Did they want more of the Heap? The answer was a resounding “Yes!”, much to Hewetson’s chagrin, as he hated the character. Plans were made to relaunch the series as soon as an artist could come up with a suitable reconception of the character. After Hewetson rejected four different proposals, eventually Gene Day came up with a suitable design, and a relaunch of the series was announced—although the Skywald line folded before it could see print. Scream Screen Scene was not a movie review, but a brief retelling of a particular film in comic form. Best story here was Ed Fedory’s ‘The Taste Of Carrion’ and the best art was Michael Kaluta’s work on ‘The Horror Within & Without’. Good work also appeared from Hewetson, Dela Rosa, Marcos, Rubio, Funnell & Moench. 14. cover: Ken Kelly (Sept. 1973) 1) The Dead [Al Hewetson/Maelo Cintron] 1p [text story, frontis] 2) The Classic Creeps [Al Hewetson/Francisco Cueto] 13p 3) The Monstrosity…Strikes! [Augustine Funnell/Ricardo Villamonte] 5p 4) The Slither-Slime Page: Augustine Funnell Profile [letters’ page, Bob Burros/Jay Lynch] 2p 5) Scream Screen Reviews: Vault Of Horror & Who Slew Auntie Roo? [Al Hewetson] 4p [text article w/photos] 6) The Artist’s Other Hand [Al Hewetson; illustrated: Jesus Suso Rego] 7p 7) The Horror That’s Not As It Seems [Al Hewetson/Antonio Borrell] 1p 8) A Man Who Dare Not Sleep! [Ed Fedory/Felipe Dela Rosa] 5p 9) Cassandra…Sorceress Of The Seventh Wind [Marv Wolfman/Don Heck & Mike Esposito] 10p 10) The Hippy-Criters Are Comin’ [Al Hewetson/Fernando Rubio] 5p 11) I Battle The Vicious Vampire Bats Of Transylvania And I Lived To Tell It [Al Hewetson/Maro Nava] 8p [story credited to Maro Nava] Notes: $.75 for 64 pages. The letters’ page featured a cartoon by Jay Lynch and a text story by Bob Burros. In the story ‘The Artist’s Other Hand’ the main character is drawn to look like Al Hewetson. Kelly’s cover, which depicted classic movie monsters, could just as easily have graced a magazine like Famous Monsters Of Filmland. Best story is Hewetson’s ‘The Artist’s Other Hand’ while the best art goes to newcomer Maro Nava. Other good work appeared from Francisco Cueto, Suso and Augustine Funnell. 15. cover: Vicente Segrelles (Nov. 1973) 1) How To Make A Mummy [Al Hewetson/Maelo Cintron] 1p [frontis] 2) The 13 Dead Things [Al Hewetson/Jesus Duran] 12p [art credited to D. Duran] 3) Letters’ Page: Jose Gual Profile [Al Hewetson/Jose Gual & Maro Nava] 2p [text article] 4) When The Bad Moon Rises…I Am A Ghoul! [Rodion Eis/Mario Nava] 9p [the author is possibly Al Hewetson] 5) The Ghoul [Al Hewetson/Ferran Sostres] 8p [story credited to Howie Anderson] 6) The House Of Demons [Chic Stone/Amador Garcia] 11p 7) Scream Screen: All Girl-Ghoul Movies Of The Macabre [Al Hewetson] 5p [text article w/photos] 8) Ghouls Walk Among Us [Augustine Funnell/Ferran Sostres] 7p 9) The Town That Crumbled [Al Hewetson/Jesus Suso Rego] 1p 10) I Laugh The Laugh Of The Graceful Dead! [Al Hewetson/Felipe Dela Rosa] 5p 11) Scream Ad [Zesar Lopez] 1p [on the back cover]
1) The Old Vampire Lady [Al Hewetson/Jesus Duran] 10p 2) The Archaic Horror Mailbag/Editorial: Christopher Lee’s Comic Opinion [Al Hewetson & Christopher Lee] 2p [text article w/photos] 3) Monster, Monster Rise From Thy Crypt [Augustine Funnell/Ricardo Villamonte] 8p 4) Darkkos Manse: They Lived In Darkkos Manse! [Al Hewetson/Maro Nava] 10p [story credited to Joe Dentyn] 5) The Thing With The Red Ribbon In Its Hair [Al Hewetson/Domingo Gomez] 1p [story credited to Domingo Gomez] 6) Dead—But Not Yet Buried: Edgar Allan Poe [Al Hewetson] 4p [text article w/photos] 7) The Thing In The Box [Al Hewetson/Fernando Rubio] 6p [story credited to Harvey Lazarus] 8) Hunger Of The Slaughter-Sludge Beasts! [Doug Moench/Jesus Suso Rego] 11p 9) A Tale In Old Egypt: The Premature Burial [Al Hewetson/Felipe Dela Rosa] 2p 10) Movie Reviews: Nosferatu [Ed Fedory] 1p [text article w/photos] 11) Greed [Al Hewetson/Ricardo Villamonte] 8p [story credited to Edward Farthing]
1) The Death Pit [Al Hewetson/Domingo Gomez] 1p [frontis] 2) The Black Sculpture Of The Pharaohs [Al Hewetson/Ricardo Villamonte] 7p 3) Horror Preview Contest [Ricardo Villamonte] 1p [a fill in the word balloon contest] 4) Slither-Slime Previews For ’74 [Al Hewetson/various] 2p [text article] 5) This Is Your Life, Sam Hammer, This Is Your Death! [Al Hewetson/Jose Cardona] 7p 6) This Is The Vault Of The Living Dead! [Al Hewetson/Maro Nava] 8p [story credited to Harvey Lazarus]
7) These Are The Things That Are Dead [Al Hewetson/Felipe Dela Rosa] 8p [story credited to Howie Anderson] 8) The Crime In Satan’s Crypt! [Ed Fedory/Antonio Borrell] 8p 9) The Lunatic Class Of ’64 [Jane Lynch/Emilio Bernardo] 4p 10) The Narrative Of Skut [Al Hewetson/Luis Collado] 7p 11) Monster, Monster, Heed Death’s Call [Augustine Funnell/Ricardo Villamonte] 8p Notes: A Horror Preview Contest segment appeared. ‘Horror Previews for ‘74’ featured a montage of panels from upcoming stories. Jane Lynch, writer of ‘The Lunatic Class Of ‘64’ was the wife of underground cartoonist Jay Lynch. The inside back cover proclaims an imminent return of the Heap, although the announcement proved overly optimistic. The best art again was Villamonte’s, on both ‘The Black Sculpture Of The Pharaohs’ and the ‘Monster, Monster’ segments. Good work also appeared from Maro Nava & Felipe Dela Rosa. Best story was Hewetson’s ‘The Black Sculpture Of The Pharoahs’ although Ed Fedory, Gus Funnell & Jane Lynch’s stories were also good. 18. cover: Villanova (May 1974) 1) The Macabre [Al Hewetson/Ricardo Villamonte] 10p 2) The Archaic Horror Mailbag: Jose Maria Cardona Profile [Al Hewetson/ Jesus Suso Rego] 1p [text article]
3) Lady Satan Sketch [Pablo Marcos] 1p [pin-up] 4) The Rats [Al Hewetson/Felipe Dela Rosa] 10p 5) The Saga Of The Victims Promo [Al Hewetson/Jesus Suso Rego] 1p 6) A Descent Into The Maelstrom [Al Hewetson/Cesar Lopez] 10p from the story by Edgar Allan Poe 7) Horror Preview Contest [Ricardo Villamonte] 1p [a fill in the word balloons contest] 8) Now…Another Maniac! [Al Hewetson/Maelo Cintron] 6p [story credited to Howie Anderson] 9) Uncle Ed’s Grave [Al Hewetson/Alphonso Font] 7p [story credited to Howie Anderson] 10) Horror Books-Music-Movies [Ed Fedory, Augustine Funnell & Al Hewetson] 2p [text article] 11) The Boutique Macabre [Al Hewetson/Antonio Borrell] 3p [story credited to Edward Farthing] 12) Monster, Monster, Watch Them Die [Augustine Funnell/Ricardo Villamonte] 8p Notes: Villanova’s cover of a man being attacked by rats was done in the form of a puzzle and was one of Psycho’s most striking covers. Hewetson’s Poe adaptations were often some of the best work he did and this issue’s effort effort on ‘A Descent Into The Maelstrom’ was no exception, being easily the best story and art here. ‘The Boutique Macabre’ was originally intended for the ‘Town Of Evil’ special that was to have run in the never published Nightmare #24. A photo of Jose Cardona appears on the letters’ page. Lady Satan’s new costume is previewed in a pencil sketch by Pablo Marcos. 19. cover: Sebastia Boada (July 1974) 1) Old Horrors [Al Hewetson/Domingo Gomez] 1p [frontis] 2) Lady Satan: The Son Of Lord Lucifer [Al Hewetson/Pablo Marcos] 9p 3) Like A Bat Outta Hell [Al Hewetson/Ricardo Villamonte]7p [story credited to Edward Farthing] 4) The Yeti [Al Hewetson/Alphonso Font] 7p [story credited to Howie Anderson] 5) Ligeia [Al Hewetson/Jesus Duran] 5p from the story by Edgar Allan Poe 6) Horror-Mood Artist Of The Month: Ricardo Villamonte [Al Hewetson/ Ricardo Villamonte] 2p [text article]
7) Psychotic Psycho Mailbag: Luis Collado Profile [Al Hewetson/Jesus Suso Rego] 2p [text article, art from The Saga Of The Victims.] 8) The Revenge Of Dracula: Hell Is On Earth! [Al Hewetson/Emilio Bernardo] 9p 9) Horror Preview Contest [Jose Martin Sauri] 1p 10) Scenes From The Great Classic Horror Movies [Al Hewetson/photos & art from various stories.] 11p 11) Monster, Monster: And In This Land…A Monster [Augustine Funnell/ Ricardo Villamonte] 8p Notes: Lady Satan’s series moved over from Scream for its last appearance. This character, as well as Skywald’s version of the Heap, would be revived in 2003 in John Gallagher’s Bedlam fanzine from Great Britain. The letters’ page featured a photo of Luis Collado and a letter from Christopher Lee reacting favorably to the interview with him that appeared in Nightmare #17. Best story & art are from the Lady Satan segment. 20. cover: Faba (Aug. 1974) 1) Nosferatu Ad [Zesar Lopez] 1p [frontis] 2) The Dead And The Superdead [Al Hewetson/Jose Cardona] 15p 3) The Horror Film Vault [Al Hewetson] 3p [text article w/photos] 4) Psychotic Psycho Mailbag [letters’ page] 1p 5) Ad For 1974 Nightmare Yearbook [Jose Martin Sauri] 1p 6) The Burial Vault Of Primal Eld!!! [Ed Fedory/Antonio Borrell] 8p 7) Horror-Mood Artist Of The Month: Maelo Cintron [Al Hewetson/Maelo Cintron] 2p [text article] 8) The Masque Of The Red Death [Al Hewetson/Ricardo Villamonte] 9p from the story by Edgar Allan Poe
9) Tomorrow The Snowman Will Kill You! [Augustine Funnell/Luis Collado] 5p 10) Requiem For A Human Being [Al Hewetson/Antonio Borrell] 8p [story credited to Howie Anderson] 11) The Human Gargoyles, part 7: The Freaks [Al Hewetson/Maelo Cintron] 9p 12) Ad For 1974 Nightmare Yearbook [illustrated: ?] 1p [on inside cover] 13) Ad For Tomb Of Horror [illustrated: ?] 1p [on back cover, ad for never published magazine]
1) The Fiend Of Changsha! [Al Hewetson/Sanho Kim] 8p 2) Psychotic Psycho Mailbag [Al Hewetson/Zesar Lopez] 2p [text article] 3) The Facts In The Case Of M. Valdemar [Al Hewetson/Jose Cardona] 7p from the story by Edgar Allan Poe 4) 1974 Nightmare Yearbook Ad [Jose Martin Sauri] 1p 5) The Gloomb Bomb [Jack Katz] 12p 6) The Cadaver [Al Hewetson/Gene Day] 2p [text story] 7) The Ghost Of The Corpse [Al Hewetson/Luis Collado] 8p [story credited to Edward Farthing] 8) Maxwell’s Blood Hammer [Al Hewetson/Jose Cardona] 10p [story credited to Joe Dentyn] 9) The Claws Of Death! [Ed Fedory/Folsengo Cabrerizo] 8p 10) Scream #9 Ad [B&W repo of cover] 1p [on inside back cover] Notes: Hewetson presents a new reader survey, entitled ‘Behemoth Bunch Of Questions’. ‘The Gloomb Bomb’ was done in 1971 and originally intended for the aborted Science Fiction Odyssey #1. ‘The Fiend Of Changsha!’ had a request for readers to write in if they’d like another episode. Evidently the response was positive as it would return in the final issue of Psycho. Best story here was Ed Fedory’s ‘The Claws Of Death’ while the best art honors go to Sanho Kim’s ‘The Fiend Of Changsha!’. ‘Maxwell’s Bloody Hammer’ was clearly a takeoff on the Beatles’ song ‘Maxwell’s Hammer’. 22. cover: Prieto Muriana (Nov. 1974) 1) The Saga Of The Frankenstein Monster: Die, Frankenstein’s Monster! [Al Hewetson/Cesar Lopez] 10p 2) Psychotic Psycho Editorial Page [Al Hewetson/Virgil Finley; H. P. Lovecraft & Zesar Lopez] 2p [text article w/spot illos] 3) Revolution!

7) The Midnight Slasher [Doug Moench/Pablo Marcos] 6p reprinted from Psycho #6 (May 1972) 8) Within The Torture Chamber [Kevin Pagen/Doug Wildey] 8p reprinted from Nightmare #5 (Aug. 1971) 9) Vault Of A Vampire [Al Hewetson/Serg Moren] 8p reprinted from Nightmare #3 (Apr. 1971) 10) Nightmare Pin-Up [Gene Day] 1p [on back cover] Notes: The 1974 Psycho Fall-Special is also Psycho #22, although it doesn’t say so anywhere in the issue itself. There was also a 1974 Psycho Yearbook that came out the same month, further confusing the matter. ‘The Saga Of The Frankenstein Monster’ is not a continuation of Skywald’s earlier ‘Frankenstein, Book II’ {although the writer/artist team are the same people who concluded that series} but rather a continuation of Hewetson’s personal take on the character, begun in Scream #7. The letters’/editorial page was all about H. P. Lovecraft and the Shoggoth series. It contained a Virgil Finley portrait of Lovecraft, a concept sketch of Cthulhu by HPL himself, a checklist of Skywald’s Shoggoth stories, and a offer for a Shoggoth crusade certificate, signed by Hewetson and others, making the reader a part of Skywald’s crusade against the Shoggoths {playing off the fact that Hewetson & other Skywald creators had been featured as protagonists in the previous Shoggoth stories}. 23. cover: Sebastia Boada (Jan. 1975) 1) People Of The Dark [Robert E. Howard/Gene Day] 1p [frontis] 2) The Phantom Of The Dead: Midnight In Wax [Al Hewetson/Jose Martin Sauri] 10p 3) Psycho Mailbag: Gene Day/Augustine Funnell Profiles [letters’ page] 2p [text article] 4) The Curse Of The Snake Goddess [Ed Fedory/Jose Cardona] 7p 5) Portfolio Of The Master Criminal, The Vampire [Gene Day, Ricardo Villamonte, Ferran Sostres, Zesar Lopez, Paul Puigagut, Jesus Duran, Pablo Marcos w/photos] 3p [text article—with the exception of Day, all art is from previous stories.] 6) A Garden Of Hellish Delight [Al Hewetson/Cesar Lopez] 4p [story credited to Edward Farthing] 7) Killerclown [Augustine Funnell/Gene Day] 2p [text story] 8) The Werevampirewolf [Al Hewetson/Jose Cardona] 5p [story credited to Jose Cardona] 9) The Man Of The Crowd [Al Hewetson/Ferran Sostres] 5p from the story by Edgar Allan Poe 10) The 300th Birth Day Party!

Now $1.00 for 64 pages. The cover stated this was the 1975 Psycho Winter Special. Only the titlepage identified it as #24. Dave Sim made his professional debut with the story of ‘The Cry Of The White Wolf’, which featured a photo of Sim on the splash page, along with the note that Skywald was “pleased to introduce demented Dave Sim for the first time in the comic medium”. The letters’ page mentioned Basil Wolverton’s ‘Barflyze’ book, previewed a pencil sketch for a never published cover by Sebastia Boada and mentioned that upcoming stories {never published, naturally} would be written by former EC writer Carl Wessler and former Warren editor/writer J. R. Cochran. Augustine Funnell’s ‘Monster Monster’ serial also had one more segment that went unpublished. ‘The Fiend Of Changsha!’ returned with an extremely good segment. It’s a pity that we’ll never know how it was to end. Best art was by Sanho Kim, Maelo Cintron and Jose Martin Sauri. A cover was produced for the never published 25th issue, cover dated May 1975, which stated that another episode of ‘The Fiend Of Changsha!’ and seven more stories would have appeared there.

Dave Sim sends in a letter. The letters’ page also featured a bio & photo of Domingo Gomez. Hewetson & Nava’s adaptation of ‘The Fall Of The House Of Usher’ featured the best story & art but the ‘Phantom Of The Opera’ adaptation was also very good as was the latest installment of Lady Satan. 4. cover: Villanova (Feb. 1974) [Wraparound cover.] 1) Lady Satan, part 3: Satan Wants A Child [Al Hewetson/Ricardo Villamonte] 9p [story credited to Howie Anderson] 2) Edgar Allan Poe In The Movies [Al Hewetson] 4p [text article w/photos] 3) The Oblong Box [Al Hewetson/Maro Nava] 7p from the story by Edgar Allan Poe 4) Archaic Scream Announcements: Ed Fedory Profile/Comics Opinion [Al Hewetson & Dave Sim/Jose Gual & Jack Davis] 2p [text article w/photo & spot illos.] 5) The Skull Of The Ghoul [Al Hewetson/Ferran Sostres] 10p 6) The Legend Of The Cannibal Were-Wolf [Ed Fedory/Ricardo Villamonte] 8p 7) The Lunatic Mummy [Al Hewetson/Cesar Lopez] 10p 8) The Vampire Kingdom [Al Hewetson/Domingo Lopez] 2p 9) Nosferatu: When The Dusk Falls…So Does Death… [Al Hewetson/Zesar Lopez] 9p Notes: There was an ad for Russ Cochran’s EC reprints. The letters’ page had a photo of Ed Fedory. Lady Satan would be continued in Psycho #19. Lady Satan also had the best story & art in this issue although I also quite liked the Hewetson/Sostres’s ‘The Skull Of The Ghoul’. 5. cover: Fernando Fernandez (Apr. 1974) 1) The Autobiography Of A Vampire, Chapter 2 [Al Hewetson/Ricardo Villamonte] 10p 2) The Macabre Scream Mailbag/The Comics Opinion [Augustine Funnell] 2p [text article] 3) Darkkos Manse: Get Up And Die Again [Al Hewetson/Alphonso Font] 8p [story credited to Howie Anderson] 4) The Cask Of Amontillado [Al Hewetson/Maro Nava] 7p from the story by Edgar Allan Poe 5) The Black Orchids And The Tale Of Anne [Al Hewetson/Jose Cardona] 7p [story credited to Stuart Williams] 6) The Conqueror Worm And The Haunted Palace [Al Hewetson/Domingo Gomez] 2p from the poems by Edgar Allan Poe 7) Are You Dead Yet?

[Al Hewetson/Cesar Lopez] 9p 8) Tomb Of Horror Ad [Zesar Lopez] 1p [ad for never published magazine] 9) The Saga Of The Victims: I Am Horror [Al Hewetson/Jesus Suso Rego] 20p Notes: The ‘Saga Of The Frankenstein Monster’ is not a continuation of the Frankenstein Book II serial that concluded in the previous issue but Hewetson’s own interpretation of the Frankenstein saga. It would continue in the Psycho 1974 Fall Special. Best story & art are from the ‘Saga Of The Victims’. 8. cover: Faba (Aug. 1974) 1) Psycho 1974 Yearbook Ad [Steve Hickman] 1p [frontis] Hickman’s art reprinted from Psycho #2 (Mar. 1971) 2) The Tell-Tale Heart [Al Hewetson/Ricardo Villamonte] 8p from the story by Edgar Allan Poe 3) The Archaic Horror Mailbag/Augustine Funnell Profile [Al Hewetson] 2p [text article] 4) Nosferatu: My Prison In Hell [Al Hewetson/Zesar Lopez] 9p [art miscredited to Cesar Lopez] 5) The Slither-Slime Man Rises Again [Al Hewetson/Jose Cardona] 8p [story credited to Howie Anderson] 6) Jesus Suso Rego: Horror-Mood Artist Of The Month [Al Hewetson/Jesus Suso Rego] 2p [text article] 7) The Mechanical Cannibals [Rich Buckler/Rich Buckler & Chic Stone] 11p from the story ‘From Fanaticism Or For Reward’ by Harry Harrison 8) The Saga Of The Victims: I…Am Torment [Al Hewetson/Jesus Suso Rego] 20p 9) Nightmare Ad [Sebastia Boada] 1p [on inside back cover, B&W repo of #20’s cover]

[Al Hewetson/Antonio Borrell] 6p
9) The Saga Of The Victims: I Am Treachery…I Am Horror [Al Hewetson/Jesus Suso Rego] 20p 10) Nightmare Ad [Gene Day] 1p [on back cover] Notes: Hewetson’ adaptation of Poe’s ‘Mezengerstein’ was the best story this issue while Suso’s latest chapter of the ‘Saga Of The Victims’ continued to offer the best artwork. ‘Down To Hades…To Die!’ by Gus Funnell was also a good story. 10. cover: Sebastia Boada (Oct. 1974) 1) The Narrative Of Arthur Gordon Pym Of Nantucket Preview [Cesar Lopez] 1p [frontis] 2) My Flesh Crawls [Al Hewetson/Jose Martin Sauri] 10p 3) The Archaic Scream Mailbag/Editorial [Al Hewetson] 2p [text article] 4) A Fragment In The Life Of Dracula: Creatures In The Night [Al Hewetson/Jose Cardona] 9p 5) The Murders In The Rue Morgue [Al Hewetson/Cesar Lopez] 12p from the story by Edgar Allan Poe 6) The Art Of Killing Human Monsters [Al Hewetson] 3p [text article] 7) The Stranger Is The Vampire [Al Hewetson/Paul Pueyo] 10p [story is miscredited to Paul Pueyo] 8) Tales Out Of Hell, part 2: In His Master’s Blood [Al Hewetson/Jesus Duran] 10p [story credited to Howie Andereson] Notes: The frontispiece carries an ad for an upcoming 25-page Poe adaptation by Hewetson & Cesar Lopez. At least part of it was drawn, since a page is reproduced here {see also The Horror-Mood Odyssey} but if completed, it never saw print. ‘Tales Out Of Hell’ was continued from Nightmare #19. The ‘Saga Of The Victims’ skipped an issue to allow Suso to catch up on his deadlines. Best story would be ‘The Stranger Is The Vampire’ although it is hampered by lackluster art, while Jose Martin Sauri has the best art honors on ‘My Flesh Crawls’. 11. cover: Ballestar (Mar. 1975) 1) Werewolf Illustrated Novel Ad [Jose Martin Sauri] 1p [frontis] 2) Nosferatu: I Kill To Live [Al Hewetson/Zesar Lopez] 10p 3) Scream Mailbag & Previews [Al Hewetson/Cesar Lopez & Paul Puigagut & an ad for the never published Psycho #25 which was to have 10 linked stories about a single town snatched from hell.] 4) You Can’t Judge A Killer By The Corpse!

See notes for #6.] 9) Psycho #25 Ad [?] 1p [on back cover] Notes: Final issue. $1.00 for 64 pages. Cover announces this as the 1975 Winter Special. There was a six months’ hiatus between #10 & #11. The titlepage lists the cover artist Ballestar’s first name as Ed but Hewetson confirmed that he made up that name because he was so tired of Spanish artists without surnames. He also changed Spanish names to Anglo ones so it would appear that he had American artists working on the magazines. The editorial page explains why the Heap hadn’t reappeared {see notes for Nightmare #20}. The editorial page also mentions that Psycho #25 was to be a ‘Tales Of Evil’ special edition and that the ‘Monster, Monster’ series would end with part 9. None of those stories saw print. ‘The Little Horror-Mood Shop Of Horrors’—a 5-page catalog of novelty items similar to Warren’s Captain Company—appeared. The frontispieces advertises a never published graphic novel by Hewetson & Martin Sauri.
