A lucky find; I wish there were more of these as well!

We'll wrap up the week with another one that'd be tough to scan: from 1981, Shocking Tales Digest #1, cover by Ernie Colón, although some images might have been taken from Bob Powell and Jack Kirby.

This was a Harvey comics reprint digest, a one-off, made up of stories from the 1950's, from titles like Black Cat Comics, for Bob Powell's "Colorama!" Alarming Tales is also strongly represented, with nine Jack Kirby shorts, making up almost half the book! "The Cadmus Seed!" and "The Last Enemy! both seem like precursor, test versions of his later DC work: "Enemy" is very Kamandi. Despite the little "TERROR" skull in the corners, most of these aren't super scary; but still not bad. 

I hadn't seen this one before, but if you're ever somewhere with a bunch of Archie digests, give 'em the once-over: every so often you'll find an oddball like this! I think from the same shelf at EntertainMart I got a Disney digest a bit ago; I'm hoping I luck into say, DC's Plop! digests at some point.
