I’ve been reading comics for nearly three decades now. For the past few years my comic book habit died down in favour of classic comic strips, but I’ve always managed to keep my toe in the water. That said, the only titles that I’ve bought regularly over the last five years are The Walking Dead, Conan, and Little Lulu. Yeah, that’s right.

Little Lulu is right up there with Little Orphan Annie as a comic with a reputation based more on surface impressions then on actual content. John Stanley, the writer and breakdown artist on Little Lulu, is known in comic circles as being one of the all-time great cartoonists. And although he’s best known for his humourous work, another area in which Stanley excelled was Horror.

Comic Books Are Interesting Except When They Are Not Interesting has posted a sweet one-pager by Stanley entitle Goblin’s Ball. The first time I read it I wondered where the rest of the story was.

Thanks to The Comics Reporter for the link. If Goblin’s Ball appeals to you, I also posted a link to Stanley’s legendary horror comic The Monster of Dread End on International Read A Comic Book Naked Day which you may find interesting.
