Today and tomorrow I’m re-running some horror and Halloween-themed comics I’ve done with my pal Mike Pascale. I’ll be running all-new gags Monday through Halloween.
Art by Vince Colletta Studio from the story “The Love Thief” in First Kiss #37, 1964.
Transcript:
SCENE: Vampire woman scene from the back is brushing her hair while looking into a mirror. The mirror shows the hairbrush, but not the vampire.

VAMPIRE: This is why vampires never get new hairdos!

Hi. No coloring credit this time because I just scanned a print of the original comic and adjusted the color and the art myself. I’ll be using this approach for several of the other Halloween-themed comics coming up. I hope you like the results! —John
