FISH STORY {1975}

 ONE OF MY FAVOURITE COMIC BOOK STORIES FROM SECRETS OF HAUNTED HOUSE # 1.


I bought this issue offa the spinner rack at Thor's Drug Store on Westfield Avenue in Pennsauken, NJ when I was a kiddie-winkie staying at my grandparents' house for the weekend.  I love the whole issue but there was something about this story written by Jack Oleck and illustrated by the masterful Alex Nino that always stayed with me.  Nino's artwork is so quirky and odd that it perfectly fits this almost Lovecraftian story.  I mean, just look at that second panel on page one!!!  How creepy and menacing is THAT?!?!?!  I just love it to bits!
