CAULDRON OF HORROR #2: MORE CRYPTIC TALES

Cauldron of Horror #2 rises from AC's creative catacombs with a new, all-color trilogy of terror.

As one can discern from Patrick Broderick and Bill Black's exhilarating cover, it's a mummy yarn that headlines Issue #2, written by renowned filmmaker and big-time, monster buff, Don Glut!

"Demonic Mummy" features not only the evident, bandaged corpse, but the chaotic, cobra-man, Apopis, who's involvement in a low-budget horror film holds a Faustian catch. 

In "Our Acnephobia," written by Mark Heike, Bonnie and Clyde copycats discover a sequestered scientist who bestows them a creepy surprise.

For "You Wore Black, The Angels Wore White," written by Dan Membiela, a vampiric ruse manifests, but is it wrought in danger, play ... or maybe a bit of both? 

It should be noted that Bobby Ragland, Davide Deidda, Stephanie Heike, Jaime Castro, David Jacob Beckett and Walter (Bill Black) Paisley also contributed to this issue, entrenching its haunting merit. 

For those who love EC and Warren titles, Cauldron of Horror is certain to delight, with devilish creatures and startling examples of bizarre comeuppance. (I procured my copy via Steve's Comic Relief, Village Commons, Quakerbridge Road, Lawrenceville, NJ: a prolific hub for every imaginative need.) 

And for those desiring even more thrills and chills, Cauldron of Horror #3 is scheduled for a fall release ... just in time for Halloween!
