Horror Graphic Novels Live!

Although my tastes usually ran to "Little Lulu" and "Mickey Mouse" comics, I had one horror comic book with images that I retain more than a half-century later. Sadly, my comics disappeared as adolescence surged. I can't remember the name, but the theme was a combination of "The Blob", "War of the Worlds" and "Frankenstein's Monster".

A space ship crashes on earth and out of it oozes a pink life form that looks nothing so much as a chaw of Double Bubble gum. It oozes its way to a quaint cottage where an old man lives alone. I can't remember if the ooze spoke, but the man invites it in and enjoys their visit. Then, as he says goodbye, he reveals that he is blind. Ironic, huh? Get it: can't see the monster for what it is? Ooo, scary, at least for a kid during the height of the flying saucer scares.

Well, maybe I can learn the title through THE HORRORS OF IT ALL, a horror comic blog for the celebration and appreciation of "Pre-Code" 50s graphic novels. According to Wikipedia: "The CCA was created in 1954 as part of the CMAA, in response to public concern about what was deemed inappropriate material in many comic books."
