Joe Orlando (1927–1998)

Compared to Vol 1 all the interstitial stuff about the house itself has completely gone, with just very short abel introductions. Similar stuff, horror stories that always end with evil being punished because of CCA rules, some are spooky, a lot of silly ~twist endings~, sometimes the art is really cool. If you like kind of silly and not particularly scary but fun horror comics this is decent. Goosebumps type appeal

Some are good, some are bad. Best is Judgement Day, a very unsubtle but good parable about racism whose ending gave me goosebumps. Most of the stories have some kind of twist. I dunno it's fine? The supplementary material about EC comics etc is good if you're interested in comics history

been wanting to read light stuff recently so this was fun. some good stories, some weird, some incoherent, but overall pretty fun to read through. nothing like. super clever but I often found myself impressed by the art (doubt it's impressive to anyone who actually knows comics though) scratched the same sort of itch as goosebumps or something.

The introduction of the Purple Man. Fun story, a little goofy like a lot of this era is. Relatively light on the sexism and ableism for this era (though both are still present).
