#bone warning

Since @helliecarousel asked, here’s the x-ray from my car accident. I’m really sorry I can’t put it behind a readmore, but I don’t think it’s too gory? Anyway, this was my right arm two weeks ago. As you can see, the outer bone (the ulna) broke in one place, while the radius snapped in two places. This is what made surgery so tricky; they had to use plates and screws to put everything back in place, and it took two separate incisions. Also, getting that X-ray was the worst pain I’ve ever been in, period. I can’t turn or twist my wrist; the nurses had to manipulate the arm to lay on the X-ray plate. It was awful.

THE LONG HALLOWEEN Chapter Two: Thanksgiving

Back in 1954, the Comics Code Authority restricted content in comic books; any material deemed to be "smut, obscene, or vulgar" would not carry the CCA seal of approval, essentially a comic's death sentence as the majority of shops would refuse to stock unapproved material, and led to the "underground comics" movement. Prior to these rules, some horror comics were relatively shocking for their time--which is where Haunted Horror comes in.

Haunted Horror collects pre-CCA horror comics and publishes them as an anthology similar to Tales From the Crypt, with several stories in each issue. While the stories don't contain copious amounts of blood, sex, or profanity, their content was still graphic enough to be banned by the CCA; a lady goes bowling with her husband's decapitated head, a mad museum worker boils his coworkers to make attractions with their skeletons, etc.
