Halloween Countdown 2009 Day 27: Weird Mystery Tales #23

The only issue that I have of Weird Mystery Tales is #23 (October 1975) and is a very worn copy (in fact, there is a loose page and a missing page). The series lasted from July/August 1972 to November 1975 with #24 being the last issue. Ernie Chua did the cover and the weird tales include "The Quiz Show" written by Michale Fleisher with art by Fred Carrillo and "Fair Exchange" written b Steve Skeates based on a plot by Sergio Aragones with art by Wallace Wood. The letters page is titled "Witch's Tales". Interesting ads include Sales Leadership Club (sell fifty-eight boxes for a 10 speed racing bike or twenty-five boxes for a portable 8-track tape player), Slim Jim, Hostess Twinkies presents Shazam (yes, they used Captain Marvel's magic word instead of the superhero's actual name) in "Minerva Menace", DC Family giant titles (Super-Team Family, Tarzan Family, Superman Family and Batman Family), Gold Crown/Tank Trap games from Helen of Toy ($2.49 for both), Olympic Sales Club (sell ten boxes for a weather forcasting outfit or six boxes for a Monster Plaster casting kit) and car-in-a-bottle model from Monogram.
