"Last Sacrifice", "To You ... I Leave My Cat!" and "No Grave Can Hold Him!"

 I'll willing to admit it. The whole inspiration to add to this blog that has set dormant for three whole years was "To You ... I Leave My Cat!".

Are you kidding me! How awesome is a horror story about being bequeathed a cat seems to hate you. Yes, my husband says the worst thing you can inherit is a bird, but is most definitely wrong. Leave it to Doctor Graves to help me win an argument.

Originally printed under the Charlton title in April of 1971, my copy is a 1978 Modern Comics reissue. But don't worry, the stories are just as chilling.

With cover art, as well as the art of the Last Sacrifice and No Grave Can Hold Him, by Pat Boyette, this issue of The Many Ghost of Doctor Graves also features the Charlton go-to-team of Charles Nicholas and Vince Alasic - You might know them from almost every Charlton Romance Comic every published. - for both the teaser page feature and "To You ... I Leave My Cat!". Yes! With a title like that, they would be one ones I'd pick too.























That was totally worth the 25¢ I sent on it Friday.
