Last Halloween, We Presented Commie-Clobbering Kaiju!
This Halloween, we're showing you MONSTERS...some serving Adolf's boys and some killing Nazis!
Written by Mort Todd and illustrated by John Severin, this never-reprinted story from Globe Communications' Monsters Attack! #1 (1989) is a fitting opener to our month-long look at "Third Reich Terrors"!
The concept of the Golem dates back over 2,000 years to references in the Judeo-Christian Old Testament.
The Golem we know today as a supernatural defender of oppressed Jews originated in the story of "The Golem of Prague" in the late 1500s.
That version has become widely-popularized in media including movies/TV/radio, numerous prose novellas and novels and even comic books!
(Both DC and Marvel have ongoing Golem characters!).
One of the more popular iterations in recent times has been a Nazi-fighting statue like the one in this tale.
In fact, it's so popular, we're running three different stories about it!
The one you've just read, a Bronze Age one involving (then-present day) second-generation Nazis and a Hitler clone, and a Golden Age tale rendered by a talented up-and-comer named Kubert!
Wonder whatever happened to that guy...
Plus, we'll have werewolves, vampires, and even the Frankenstein Monster putting in appearances!
