STORY DETAILS

(5 Stories)

Title: Herbie Goes to the Devil!

Characters: Herbie Popnecker; Pincus Popnecker; Mrs. Popnecker; Satan; Miss Baylor; Frankenstein; Dracula

Synopsis: Satan is getting fewer souls every year so he boasts that he will deliver a randomly chosen one: Herbie's. Herbie agrees to a deal with the Devil to help his dad, and after consultation on contracts, Herbie reluctantly agrees to go to Hades. Hades would never be the same!

Pages: 13.000

Script: Richard Hughes [as Shane O'Shea]

Pencils: Ogden Whitney

Inks: Ogden Whitney

Notes: On page 2, Satan chooses a soul by throwing a dart at a map. The map implies that Herbie lives in the midwest USA, in Nebraska or Kansas. On page 10, Herbie's stare melts Frankenstein and Dracula, during which the two plead for help; their words are too small for the balloons and in a different lettering style, suggesting that different words were changed at the last minute. Miss Baylor is based on Elizabeth Taylor.
