☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis anthology issue contains multiple humorous stories including "Elmer," which follows a disowned vampire who attempts to build a new life in the city but repeatedly encounters misfortune, culminating in a tragic car accident. Another story features a snarling Snarl creature transformed into a werewolf who pursues a female vampire, leading to comedic chaos involving fire and explosions. Additional tales include a Native American warrior battle sequence with exaggerated violence and humor, and a science fiction story involving Buck Hodges, a space hero assigned to stop an alien invasion of Earth while dealing with bureaucratic obstacles and martian intrigue at the spaceport.
Young Dr. Baloney juggles his reputation as the town's most brilliant surgeon with a mounting pile of personal disasters—his son bombs a spelling test, trouble-seeking chaos erupts at the hospital, and his wife Portia keeps calling with increasingly dire news. When everything comes crashing down at once, the good doctor finds his own peculiar way to solve it all, proving he's every bit as resourceful (and reckless) as his title suggests.
Elmer Vampire schemes his way into a swanky party at the House of Whacks—where Hollywood monsters and celebrities are square-dancing—only to accidentally land a movie role that turns him into a genuine horror star. With Professor Sculptoni at his side and his sweetheart Wanda waiting at home, Elmer trades his struggle for the spotlight, discovering that sometimes the best disguise is just being yourself.
When Fort Ti comes under siege, the frontier scout Bizon Billy rides to the rescue—but Standing-Bull has already made off with the Colonel's daughter, and the only way to get her back is through a fight. This 1953 humor western from Eh! #1 is pure slapstick chaos, complete with bumbling warriors, mistaken identities, and a hero who's as much lover-boy as he is gunslinger.
Fight announcer Will Zerno calls the action as heavyweight champion Murderous Matthew Mambo faces off against challenger Clarence Gesundshnook in a packed arena, all while a tinkering radio enthusiast named Edgar Szismoots watches from the crowd with ideas of his own. This 1953 humor story captures the wild energy of early broadcast entertainment with absurdist flair and plenty of over-the-top fight commentary.
