	Amazon.com: McSweeney's Enchanted Chamber of Astonishing Stories: Books: Michael Chabon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		His tale of a door hidden across the breadth of cinema, and just what it means, is fascinating and perfectly executed.
		A short interesting tale about a woman who slowly turns into a vampire and her misunderstaning of how she is and her family and eventually society deal with her.
		This is an eerie tale about a couple who have a miscarriage and how the mother copes and what she does to appease the crying she hears on the other end of the Baby monitor.

	Orthodoxy, by Gilbert K. Chesterton; The Ethics of Elfland Page 6
		This elementary wonder, however, is not a mere fancy derived from the fairy tales; on the contrary, all the fire of the fairy tales is derived from this.
		Just as we all like love tales because there is an instinct of sex, we all like astonishing tales because they touch the nerve of the ancient instinct of astonishment.
		The goodness of the fairy tale was not affected by the fact that there might be more dragons than princesses; it was good to be in a fairy tale.

	Iron Maiden - "Though Some Call It Magic" - A Retro Review from Astonishing Tales #8
		As a midnight storm rages, Victor von Doom invokes the forces of darkness and risks damnation in a battle to free the soul of his long-dead mother.
		Astonishing Tales became a solo title for the Ka-Zar series with the next issue, even though there was a Doom story named "Deathmasque" listed for next month's issue.The legendary Wally Wood illustrated earlier issues of the Doom stories featured in Astonishing Tales but the writing was just so-so.
		Footnote: The "sister" title to Astonishing Tales was Amazing Adventures, where the Inhumans shared the book with the Black Widow.

	Joe R. Lansdale (editor), Retro Pulp Tales
		Technically speaking, it does not describe the contents of the tales so much as the cheap quality of paper they were printed on -- not refined or glossy, in fact barely suitable for holding ink.
		Chet Williamson impresses with a tale put together "From the Back Pages." A tightly drawn piece, it is best read with little foreknowledge, so I will just say that Williamson uses the format of the pulps' letter columns to paint his fiction with a disturbing coat of realism.
		Irvine's tale of billiards-to-the-death, involving a straightforward (if slightly crooked) cop, a Jewish gangster and a midwestern farmboy, has the tone, the suspenseful plot, and the fl-and-white characters down pat -- the oddball finale just kind of took the shine off.

	Cynthia Von Doom
		(Astonishing Tales#8/2 (fb) - BTS / Marvel Graphic Novel: Dr. Strange and Dr. Doom: Triumph and Torment (fb)) - Unlike her husband, the peaceful healer Werner, Cynthia refused to accept the Baron (King Vladimir)'s condemnation and harassment of the Zefiro.
		(Astonishing Tales#8/2 (fb) - BTS) - Each year, on the night of Midsummer's Eve, Victor von Doom cast spells, calling up demons (and worse), battling them in an effort to save his mother's soul, each time failing.
		(Astonishing Tales#8/2 - BTS) - On the night of Midsummer's Eve, Doom summoned a demon (presumably Mephisto or one of his agents) and performed his yearly challenge, this time facing Kagrok the Killer in combat.

		This is proved by the fact that when we are very young children we do not need fairy tales: we only need tales.
		These tales say that apples were golden only to refresh the forgotten moment when we found that they were green.
		Fairy tales since the beginning of recorded time, and perhaps earlier, have been “a means to conquer the terrors of mankind through metaphor."

	Simon Ryker (Earth-7484, Deathlok foe)
		(Astonishing Tales#26 + 27 - BTS / Marvel Spotlight I#33 (fb) - BTS) - Hellinger plotted the downfall of Simon Ryker; he arranged for the mind-lock of Nina Ferry with the Omni-Computer, which provided Hellinger with vital information to use against him.
		The dates given in the Deathlok stories are most likely topical, unless in that world the "modern era" of the MU took place at a fixed time period, which would mean that now over 20 years have occurred since the defeat of Hellinger.
		The third voice that showed up early on in the Deathlok saga (Astonishing Tales#25), rambling semi-incoherent data, was later revealed to be a bug implanted by Simon Ryker.

	Hellinger (Earth-7484, Deathlok the Demolisher foe)
		(Astonishing Tales#33) - Hellinger summoned Deathlok, and duped him into believing that he was a prisoner of Simon Ryker and was suffering from radiation poisoning.
		Hellinger sent Deathlok to rescue his friends, Mike Travers and Nina, using a suitcase containing explosives that was attached to Deathlok's wrist (so it could not be knocked free in battle, I guess), but would be released when he approached the castle where they were held.
		(Astonishing Tales II#36 - BTS / Marvel Spotlight#33 - BTS / Marvel Two-In-One#27 (fb) - BTS) - Godwulf sent Deathlok back in time to remove him from Hellinger's attention, then attempted to return Deathlok to his proper time.

		Weird Tales pre-1926 - These are copyrighted works by virtue of the fact that Lovecraft probably sold the full rights to his works prior to April 1923 to magazine publishers.
		Since Weird Tales renewed the copyrights on their publications, Weird Tales (and later Arkham House) own the active copyrights to these works.
		I classified the Weird Tales (pre- and post-1926) when I failed to find renewals made by Lovecraft, but I did find renewals for the published magazines (Weird Tales, Astonishing Stories, The Arkham Sampler).

	The Retropolitan Presents: Tales to Astonish!
		I’m not planning on switching “Tales to Astonish!” to something that doesn’t include the words “Tales,” “to,” or “Astonish!” (in that order), but the ever-ominous presence of Marvel Comics is always casting a slight shadow on this here domain.
		Anyway, in the extremely unlikely event that the rights-holders for the “Tales to Astonish” magazine decide to come down on me for creating a completely unrelated but identically-titled blog, I’d like to have a back-up name handy.
		I am writer and publisher of the blog known as ‘Tales to Astonish’.

	Man-Thing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Unlike the intelligent Swamp Thing, Man-Thing is a former scientist who became a nearly mindless mass of slime with no particular affinity to any living thing, but who nevertheless often becomes an accidental hero as it stumbles upon various crime and horror scenarios.
		A story intended for the much-delayed Savage Tales #2 was ultimately published in Astonishing Tales #12, written by Len Wein (before Swamp Thing #1).
		The character next appeared in a story by Conway and Morrow in Adventure into Fear #10 (1972), sometimes erroneously said to be a reprint since it had the same authors, which recapped the origin and had Man-Thing rescue a baby and take it to the local physician.

	Don Markstein's Toonopedia: It, the Living Colossus
		It was originally a 100-foot statue carved from granite by a Russian sculptor, Boris Petrovski, who had been ordered by the Communist rulers of his country create a symbol of the majesty of the proletariat.
		In Astonishing Tales #25 (August, 1974), It was replaced by Deathlok the Demolisher, which was more to the fans' taste (lasting almost three times as long).
		The usual procedure for Marvel characters that lose their series is to guest star all over the place, but It wasn't seen again until The Hulk turned up in L.A. for a slugfest with It, six years later.

		Third, while you can bicker back and forth about whether or not Sub-Mariner could be definitively called a "superhero," by 1975 - after being featured as a hero in both Tales to Astonish and his own series, as well as regularly appearing in Defenders - it’s debatable whether he could reasonably be called a super-villain.
		The collection begins with the Astonishing Tales reprints, featuring a number of conflicts that become relevant later in the SVTU chapters.
		One of the most memorable of these brief tales is something of a prequel to the Stern/Mignola graphic novel, Doctor Strange and Doctor Doom: Triumph and Torment, focusing on the villain’s endless attempts to free his mother’s soul from the underworld.

	FLURB, a Webzine of Astonishing Tales.
		Fittingly enough, the word "flurb" comes from a beautiful line Paul wrote for our story, where some frenetic subdimensional elves are discussing life in the high-plane human world, and one of them exclaims, “Of flurbbing they know not!
		Flurbbing is a bit like sex, and a bit like blending things together, an apt word for the off-kilter strange tales I hope to be printing here.
		As well as the fantasy-SF hybrid by Di Filippo and me, we have a Lovecraftian horror tale by Marc Laidlaw, a haunting fractal fantasy by Richard Kadrey, a shockingly un-PC meditation on terrorism by John Shirley, and a Zen-pure dirty story Terry Bisson.

		The quote from Thomas de Quincey at the top of this column says it all.
