...which featured Edgar Allan Poe-themed stories! We now present another never-reprinted story of lost love from DC's Scooby-Doo #117 (2007), a tale of Poe...I mean woe...that's filled with Easter Eggs!         Find all the Easter Eggs? Start with the cover caption..."Twice-Told Tales of Terror!", a combination of Twice-Told Tales and Tales of Terror...anthologies of stories by Nathanael Hawthorne and Edgar Allen Poe...both adapted by producer Roger Corman into B-movies for American International Pictures in the 1960s! (Since Twice-Told Tales (by Hawthorne) starred the legendary Vincent Price, who starred in all the Edgar Allen Poe flicks for AIP, it's usually considered part of the "Poe Cycle"!) Writer Scott Peterson, penciler Robert Pope, and inker Scott McRae load the story with lots of Poe references both in the script and art. Did you know that, though considered one of the first gothic horror writers, Poe was also part of the "American Romantic" movement as explained HERE!

Video's Valentine FLYING NUN "Perfect Valentine"
During the Swinging Sixties, you could turn almost anything into a TV series...
...as this silly, but amusing series (and spin-off comic) prove!
Though Sally Field's previous TV series, Gidget, had done poorly in the ratings and was cancelled after only one year, ABC discovered the starlet was incredibly-popular with the teen audience...which the ratings system of the time didn't take into account!
With sci-fi/fantasy dominating pop culture, the network commissioned a new series with a fantasy theme, resulting in a three-year run!
