Maybe he took all the Wertham's psychological crap too seriously. If you are a sensitive man AND a catholic, you are perilously inclined to blame yourself for too many things..J_D_La_Rue_67https://www.blogger.com/profile/13620923188907903146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-40331848759546898882015-02-02T20:33:04.127-08:002015-02-02T20:33:04.127-08:00Brian, J D, I notice you are both on the same page...Brian, J D, I notice you are both on the same page with the high heel shoes. That was Fiction House, all right! No matter how ludicrous, the heroines wore high heels.<br /><br />J D, I remember quite a few science fiction stories that involved post-apocalyptic worlds or resistance against alien invaders. We humans always win out in stories and movies...how well would be do if it really happened? <br /><br />Brian, maybe that struggle with drinking and trying to make a living in the low-paying comic books drove Ingels to teach painting. He also did paintings including portraiture that can be seen if you google his artwork. As an aside, this June we can celebrate Ghastly's 100th birthday! He died at age 76 in 1991.<br /><br />Pappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01977289662431694607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-83226220254700480252015-02-02T11:42:53.357-08:002015-02-02T11:42:53.357-08:00I want the future to happen now.

And when that happens, I want to being selling high-heeled shoes, because no matter how torn your evening dress is, you always have high-heeled shoes.<br /><br />Also, my ads will be done by Bill Ward.<br /><br />It's really depressing to me who Ghastly got pigeon-holed after the comics code. Obviously, by these two stories, he was skilled at much more than horror. Certainly, he was an expert at horror -- and I still say the best -- but he had done western, romance, and space adventure.<br /><br />Though, his alcohol problems probably didn't help either.Brian Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15737535617796413548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-49948081538173043102015-02-02T10:07:24.326-08:002015-02-02T10:07:24.326-08:00Amazing how this great artist improved his style d...Amazing how this great artist improved his style during his career. From naive sci fi stories to satanic puppeteer of ghastly figures, to more "comfortable" catholic (!) comics...<br />The idea of a future world dominated by alien invaders, with a handful of "resistants" who fight them seems to be quite common in comics. Aside from "Buck Rogers" who had (if memory serves me) a similar premise, I remember a DC miniseries from the 80's called "Slash Maraud", where the band of resistants also visits the ruins of Paris. I guess it's hard to write about "resistance" without mentioning that city.<br />But as usual, I digress. What I really wanted to say is that I really like Lyssa and her sci fi-style, high heels shoes, surely real comfortable during her "hit and run" guerilla.J_D_La_Rue_67https://www.blogger.com/profile/13620923188907903146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-77131818123502101762015-02-02T09:00:21.617-08:002015-02-02T09:00:21.617-08:00Ryan, I'm trying to remember if I have seen an...Ryan, I'm trying to remember if I have seen any other women besides Lyssa in the Lost World stories I have shown.
