    Van Helsing’s Terror Tales #17

    This is my favourite tale from this series - it’s a pity that the artwork isn’t up to scratch and there is a spelling error too - but the villain is as dastardly as they come, reminding me of the character from the Tales From The Crypt movie where a retired Major runs a home for the blind.

    Patrick Wright pencils from a Steve Parkhouse script.



    Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.

    More from MAD magazine…it’s fun to try and name all the characters in the final panel!




    Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.

    😂😂😂 "Tasti Delight", very good. No, I couldn't name all those faces.

    and all I got was the Beatles and Churchill

    it may help to remember this was published April 1965, so thesed be personalities known by the public then (before my time)

    wait, maybe I got one: is that Milton Berle back row, fourth from the left?

  • CoolHandBondCoolHandBond Mactan IslandPosts: 6,994MI6 Agent

    I think some of the others are - Richard Burton, Liz Taylor, Rex Harrison, Malcolm Muggeridge, Peter Sellers, Margaret Rutherford (as Miss Marple) and Harold Wilson.

    Can anyone else help?

    Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
  • BarbelBarbel ScotlandPosts: 37,593Chief of Staff

    General Montgomery ("Monty"), Harold Macmillan, Twiggy

    which one is Sellers? is he the one holding up the "Praise the Bomb" sign? it looks sort of like one of characters from Dr Strangelove


  • BarbelBarbel ScotlandPosts: 37,593Chief of Staff

    He's the one above Churchill.

  • CoolHandBondCoolHandBond Mactan IslandPosts: 6,994MI6 Agent

    Ah, Macmillan, not Muggeridge 😂

    Is Enoch Powell there? Peter Noone?

    Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
  • BarbelBarbel ScotlandPosts: 37,593Chief of Staff

    Didn't notice either of them, sorry.

    CASINO ROYALE Chapter Eighteen:



    Chapter 19 follows,tomorrow…

    Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
  • BarbelBarbel ScotlandPosts: 37,593Chief of Staff

    It's a rewarding adaptation and I'm very grateful to be reading it.

    CASINO ROYALE Chapter Nineteen:



    To be continued next weekend…meanwhile during the week there will be another Father Shandor adventure, another Van Helsing tale and a MAD parody.

    Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
  • Sir MilesSir Miles The Wrong Side Of The WardrobePosts: 27,510Chief of Staff

    Father Shandor #3 - Script by Alan Moore and Dez Skinn with superlative artwork by John Bolton.



    Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
  • CoolHandBondCoolHandBond Mactan IslandPosts: 6,994MI6 Agent

    Van Helsing’s Terror Tales #18

    This one was a change of direction for the series as The Swamp Thing’s Berni Wrightson was handed both script and art duties. Though both script and artwork are fine, I don’t think the story fits into Van Helsing style that the series maintained up to then.



    Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
  • BarbelBarbel ScotlandPosts: 37,593Chief of Staff

    I love the ending of the first one! These Father Shandor stories are pretty good.

    The second one, as you say, not so much.

  • CoolHandBondCoolHandBond Mactan IslandPosts: 6,994MI6 Agent

    A MAD look at MOONRAKER.



    Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.

    CASINO ROYALE Chapter Twenty One:


    To be continued next weekend…

    More Van Helsing Tales and Hammer’s THE MUMMY coming up during the week…

    Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.

    I'm impressed by the technique with which the artist keeps what are basically mere dialogue scenes - during which Bond is immobile throughout - with Mathis and Vesper visually interesting.

    Also the metaphor for Bond worrying about impotence, the components and inner workings of a gun, is inspired and appropriate.
