Of The Studio artists, of course Bernie Wrightson was the horror artist, but Barry Windsor-Smith could draw some really creepy stuff.

Ava Gardner: She's No Witch!

I think I could just go ahead and post this picture of Ava Gardner everyday
between now and Halloween and probably wouldn't get many complaints.

How it Began...

Below is a scan of the original art from the 1937 newspaper cartoon feature "How it Began" by Paul F. Berdanier. I got this original at the San Diego Comic Con back in the 1980's. Since there's a witch in it, I figured it would work for this whole Countdown to Halloween deal.
