Stumbled across
this bad boy...
This was one of those short-lived
Simon/Kirby joints of the early 50s.
The Strange World Of Your Dreams lasted only 4 issues, and mostly featured standard 50s horror stories about dreams--but all
true, of course.
But see that banner across the bottom? "
We Will Buy Your Dreams"? What's up with that?
$25 was not a small sum in
1952!! Then again, as the title folded after #4, they probably didn't have to pay out very much, if at all.
And you have to love the somewhat overheated language--"
where hate burns like the fire of Hades" indeed?
So twice an issue we got a "
story" like this:
And this means...?
Oh, I see. A
comic book telling us that
movies are a "shadow world" and we should just "accept the real world" instead?? WTF,
Richard Temple?? Are you irony impaired??
Still, I do wish the enterprise were still ongoing, because I'd love to have him "
analyze" my dream about a
Wolverine/Hamlet crossover, or the one about
Ben Grimm and...well, that one I'm saving for another time....
