Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the most bat-s*** crazy story ever from Gold Key's Boris Karloff (#63, 1975) -- a tale of a British schoolboy who makes a new friend who has some rather...odd interests. Absolutely insane stuff, especially for Gold Key!

For your Friday -- one of the all-time great Boris Karloff covers (#38, 1971) -- the use of shadow & color is just off the charts!

Say what you will about the sometimes "iffy" quality of Gold Key's interior art -- when it came to splash pages, they knew how to pull in their target audience (young boys with change in their pockets). Here are some awesome openers from "Boris Karloff Tales of Mystery."

A couple more "Boris Karloffs" with & without the commercial dress. It was a neat idea to reprint the covers on the back with no titles or logos -- really lets the art speak for itself. And in many cases (as with 2nd example) it's easier to figure out what's going on.

The cool thing about early issues of Gold Key's "Boris Karloff Tales of Mystery" is that they would include full-color "pinups" of the cover on the back cover, minus the title, headlines and logo, so you could appreciate the artistry that went into them.

Gold Key's Boris Karloff title featured a surprising number of giant monster stories throughout its run. Issue (1970) had two -- the iconic cover story and another equally intriguing tale, "The Day it Rained Monsters."

Boris Karloff’s appearance in Frankenstein (1931) and The Mummy (1932) inspired Akira Toriyama to create Android 8 and Mirā-kun in Dragon Ball. In 2019 I asked his daughter Sara Karloff about this and she said, “My dad would be very honored by this.”

The eternal debate. Karloff/Clive or Cushing/Lee.....

Just realized that when I read How the Grinch Stole Christmas to my kid I always read it like Boris Karloff.

It feels weird not doing any monster art this Halloween season. So, I stayed up extra late night and did this color pencil Frankenstein’s Monster drawing.
