Overstreet: "'Holiday of Horror' junkie story; drug cover." CGC Census: 3 Blue Label copies. GPAnalysis: No recorded Blue Label sales in any grade. Mort Leav's dope-addict yarn "Holiday of Horror!" delivers the reefer madness yuks funnybook fans crave, complete with dubious hipster patois: "Nothing like it, Larry! A cap of 'horse' will really send you high-balling down dream avenue! Wouldn't you like to try it?" Shortly after puffing his first reefer, Larry is robbing banks and blasting cops with his rod as his pals lament hepping him to the hard stuff: "We shouldn't have given him that snifter! He isn't used to the stuff! HE'S GOT HOPS IN THE BRAIN!" Plus: ads for crotchless underpants for aspiring freeballers, and a "Naughty-Naughty" nightie for guys to buy their (possibly imaginary) wives and girlfriends, featuring "peek-a-boo black lace" that "reveals all her charms."
