More E.C. Funnies

I got a bit caught up in a project which, barring a sudden bout with sanity, i'll tell you all about soon.
Meanwhile, let's just relax with another trio of tales from Ellis Chambers -

(A note from Mephisto? Well - I guess, since Spider-Man vouches for him...)

  1. A story that has a man come back to life and kill the criminal who killed him? Another story that's just a bear experiencing hallucinations yelling at him? And characters killing and threatening each other is common not only in these comics, but a good number of other Ellis Chambers comics as well? Gotta love that drugged-up maniac. Anyways, good posts and good finds. I've read most of Cosmo Cat but haven't seen this before, another Ellis Chambers gem.

    1. Yes, indeed. We rarely see writing credits on these old comics, but i tend to think that Ellis Chambers wrote a lot of those himself. They certainly often seem the product of his drug fueled all-nighters. And, yeah - gotta love 'im.
      And Cosmo Cat, too. We'll definitely be seeing more of him before too long.
