Tomb of Ideas

Greetings, Tomb Believers!

On this, our 50th episode here in the Tomb, Trey and James go back to basics, tackling the latest installments in three titles that have been a part of this show from the beginning. First, we check in with Jack Russell as he and Topaz finally return to California in WEREWOLF BY NIGHT #17. Next, the Son of Satan has a very strange dream before doing battle with his father once again in MARVEL SPOTLIGHT #15. Finally, the Lord of Vampires finally comes face-to-face (so to speak) with the mysterious Dr. Sun in TOMB OF DRACULA #20.

First up is the ongoing saga of the walking corpse once known as Simon Garth in TALES OF THE ZOMBIE #5. In addition to the main Zombie story, they’ll also sink their teeth into some of the other voodoo-themed comics throughout the magazine.

Next, James and Trey dig into more of that Steve Gerber goodness with MAN-THING #5 – now drawn by Mike Ploog! In this issue, the Marvelous muck monster encounters a very sad clown.
