Mystery Tales No. 40 Skyrockets on eBay

After decades of comic book abstinence, I've rediscovered comic books. While visiting my brother in Atlanta and celebrating his birthday, a mutual friend loaned a comic book called 'KillDozer' to my brother. So, while no one was watching, I read it quickly and was astonished to find a touching children's story of a possessed bulldozer that chases people and then KILLS THEM!!! I thought there was something fishy about the story, and then I remembered Tom (our mutual friend ) telling us that it was actually based on a short story by Theodore Sturgeon.   Less than a week later, I'm watching the Cabin Fever episode of LOST and John Locke's reincarnation test includes a comic book called Mystery Tales and it's amazing! It has an eerie cartoon illustration of a frightened man on an airliner and the words WHAT WAS THE SECRET OF THE MYSTERIOUS "HIDDEN LAND!"   I always loved that type of comic book. It brought back so many memories of riding in the trunk on long family vacations to Florida. I always read the comics slowly with a flashlight so they would last long enough for the trip.   In case you're wondering - yes - this particular comic book is skyrocketing in price on eBay. At the moment of this writing, I'm still the high bidder, but there are days left before the end of the auction. It should be interesting to watch.
