The Statues Walked My Darling Into Time

My thanks once again to Steven Thompson for recommending Lou Cameron. I've been very much enjoying digging into his work, and i hope the rest of you have been enjoying this sampling of his comics.
To conclude our weekend with Lou Cameron, we have a varied trio of tales a mix of Romance, Science Fiction, and Weird Horror - Goodbye, My Darling, Mission Into Time, and The Night The Statues Walked -




As we've seen, although the new Unsleeping Dead collection may focus on Lou Cameron's horror work, he was at home in many genres - Horror, Science Fiction, Romance, Crime, War, Adventure....  
However, Lou fans might note that there is one particular genre we pointedly have not touched upon this weekend.

That's a topic for another day.

Lou-lapalooza? Cameron Con? '18

I don't know what we're calling it, but it's a Lou Cameron weekend around here. I'm looking at Lou, and thus - so are you.

But, enough poetry. Let's kick it off with a trio of tales from from the '50s. The authors of all three tales are unknown today. Lucky for us, Lou signed his work for posterity. First up She Stalks At Sundown -


From quite early in the run of House Of Secrets, we've got The Man Who Couldn't Stop Growing -


Finally, for this post, a bit of the fantastic in Realm Of Lost Faces -


Oh, yeah - definitely getting into Lou.
Next time, just when least expected.... Jungle Boy Of Jupiter!
