Number 823


Freddy's Friend by Bill Everett


Freddy's "friend" is the robot, Tabor.

Tabor showed up unannounced on Freddy Walker's doorstep, and Freddy's wife let him in. Hah! So who else is Mrs. Walker "letting in" while Freddy's at work? The milkman, mailman, gas meter reader, Fuller Brush man, other robots...? I digress.

As is usual in a horror comic, Freddy gets greedy and has some justice visited upon him. It's the manner in which it's done that is creative, inventive, totally stupid. But this is a comic book, and stupid plot devices are nothing new to us comic book readers. We like the creative, inventive stuff, the stupid we tolerate.

From Marvel Tales #104, 1951, illustrated by Bill Everett:
