Even though there’s not a single monster to be found in its panels, here’s a one-page story from comics’ Golden Age I thought you might enjoy because of its connection to this slightly spooky horrorday.
“Fraidy-Cat Phil on Friday the 13th,” by writer/artist Art Helfant, first appeared in Novelty Press’s Target Comics, Vol. 7 #5, cover-dated July 1946.
And if you’d like an extra treat, head over to the Pandora Zwieback blog right now and check out “Monsters of History,” another one-page Golden Age comic story—it’s something sure to distract the paraskevidekatriaphobic* in your life!
*That’s someone who fears Friday the 13th, like Fraidy-Cat Phil, in case you didn’t know.
