Robert Weinberg chose The Corpse Factory as title story for the first issue of his splendid Weird Menace series. "Living derelicts, cast ruthlessly aside by the power that had maimed them, they formed in time an Army of the Damned - a near dead, moaning legion, whose fleshless faces and sightless eyes were as fuel to the flame that swept an innocent girl and man through seven fearsome hours of hell on earth!" John Pelan and Bob Weinberg did us a huge service in reissuing so many neglected pulp stories, weird menace or otherwise.  Amos Sewell |
