![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The only genre missing was Weird Romance, although that title might have raised the ire of the Comics Code (it would have made for some interesting stories, though!). Even the humor comic Plop! was sub-titled "The Magazine of Weird Humor". "Weird" was also added to the long running Adventure Comics (although the indicia remained unchanged) for five issues: it was appropriate for the Spectre stories produced by Michael Fleisher and Jim Aparo (#'s 433-437). This started with Weird War Tales # 1, Oct 1971, followed nine months later by Weird Western Tales (# 12, July 1972) Weird Mystery Tales # 1 (August 1972) and Weird Worlds # 1 (September 1972), which focused on material by Edgar Rice Burroughs (John Carter, Pellucidar). This word was attached to a number of genres, including war, western, adventure and humor. In the early 1970's someone at DC noticed that a certain word caught the attention of the buying public. ![]()
