Lost Tales of the Golden Age #2 (Thrilling Nostalgia Comics)
Synopsis: The Bogeyman first appeared in Red Band Comics #1 (1944). In total, he appeared in 2 comic stories and 2 text stories in 1944-45, Zoom Comics (Dec. 1945) and Merry Comics (Dec. 1945). The Bogeyman was created by writers/artists working for Bernard Baily at his Baily Publishing shop.
In 1946, Baily closed his studio and publishing companies and sold their inventory and intellectual property to a new buyer who didn’t have the chance to publish the stories. We bought the IP rights and almost all of the inventory from that buyer and, at last, are bringing these stories to the world!
Issue #2 contains TWO unpublished and unseen stories of The Bogeyman PLUS Mr. and Mrs. September, another lost tale from the Baily archives.
For the Vintage covers, Lost Tales #2 uses a Spook Comics #1 cover that Baily Publications had John Giunta draw back in 1945/46 when it was considering making the Bogeyman the star of Spook Comics. Instead, that role went to Mr. Lucifer and this cover languished unused, until we purchased it. For our Modern Covers, we are thrilled to have superstar Chris Mooneyham (who did the Great Gazabo cover for Lost Tales #1) back again on #2 with The Bogeyman.

Lost Tales of the Golden Age #3 (Thrilling Nostalgia Comics)
Synopsis: The Bogeyman first appeared in Red Band Comics #1 (1944). In total, he appeared in 2 comic stories and 2 text stories in 1944-45, Zoom Comics (Dec. 1945) and Merry Comics (Dec. 1945). The Bogeyman was created by writers/artists working for Bernard Baily at his Baily Publishing shop.

We bought the IP rights and almost all of the inventory from that buyer and, at last, are bringing these stories to the world!
Issue #3 contains TWO more unpublished/unseen stories of The Bogeyman PLUS a 12-page Bogeyman story that was published in 1946 ONLY in the United Kingdom in a very rare paper comic book (no glossy cover) of which we estimate there are less than 10 copies in the world. Lost Tales #3 features an unused Golden Age Bogeyman splash page as its cover. Inker Bob Almond provided the inks to this drawing. For #3, the great Mark Texiera did an amazing job on a Bogeyman headshot and we couldn’t be happier with his fine work.
