SHANNA THE SHE-DEVIL was unveiled by Marvel OTD in 1972, courtesy of co-creators Carol Seuling and George Tuska (Steve Gerber would add dialogue throughout the run but wasn't involved creatively.) Ran five issues, another attempt by Stan to appeal to a female readership.
Gary Friedrich and Marie Severin were each born on August 21, and died in 2018 within hours of one another. Here's a 1967 collaboration from NOT BRAND ECHH #3.
8/14/73: SUPERNATURAL THRILLERS #6 interrupted its Living Mummy run to bring us an updating of the Headless Horseman tale of Washington Irving, with Gary Friedrich (who knew a thing about characters with flaming skulls) and George Tuska testing the waters for a never-made series.
Roger Corman's THE PIT AND THE PENDULUM was released OTD in 1961. In 1977 Marvel did an adaptation for their Classics series with Don McGregor and Rudy Mesina. Gene Colan did the cover.
