This is the first time I've participated in the Classic Comics Hallowe'en thing so I don't know if this is the norm, but there don't seem to be as many comments as I'm used to in the CC Xmas one - maybe because people are busier this time of year? But anyway, I'd like to see everyone's comments on everyone else's choices so I'll throw in a few of my own here:

Hannibal King was nearly one of my own picks, for much the same reasons Slam Bradley gives in his post. I could have picked several other Tomb of Dracula regulars as well. Marvel should make ToD one of their next tv series, with a Hannibal King spin-off soon to follow.

Grant Morrison's Frankenstein Monster was also very close, but I ended up going with earlier impressions. But for anyone who doubts Morrison's talent and skill, I'd like to point out that even though the character has been written by several highly acclaimed writers in the years since Seven Soldiers not a single one (as far as I know - I don't claim to have read everything) has even attempted to emulate the Miltonic speech patterns that made Morrison's version so memorable.

Stig's Inferno was one of my favourite comics in the 80s, and one of the first independents I really got into. Was it ever finished? I thnk Ty Templeton once popped into the old Classics Comics to tell us it was available online, so I look forward to reading the whole thing some time. Anyway, very glad to see it picked here.

I used to separate Vampirella from Creepy and Eerie, thinking of it as a cheap exploitation thing with occasional good artwork. But I've now come to see it as a worthy Warren mag in its own right, and not all that different from the other two, apart from the recurring title character. And once I saw that, as Rob Allen pointed out, the artwork by José Gonzalez in the lead Vampirella story most issues was of such a high quality I was completely won over.

Sometimes I think Fletcher Hanks's comics are the most frightening I've ever read. I get a sense of a psyche stripped to the very bones whenever I look at them - its most primal wishes and fears are laid bare in a way that's almost painful to witness.
