Dell's NELLIE THE NURSE, a character created by cartoonist Larry Katzman, was at least written and laid-out by John Stanley, although I've never seen mention of it anywhere outside of my Oddball Comics column: http://www.oddballcomics.com/article.php?story=archive2003-08-26&query=Nellie%2BThe%2BNurse When I read this funnybook, I strongly suspected it was Stanley's work, and confirmed this with Larry, who remembered John Stanley's name because he was so impressed with the work he did on NELLIE. Now, if someone would only reprint the Stanley-written GHOST STORIES No. 1 (featuring the mind-melting "Monster Of Dread End" and TALES FROM THE TOMB No. 1, both from Dell and some of the scariest funnybook stories ever published. In fact, you can read the entire "Monster Of Dread End" right here: http://www.oddballcomics.com/article.php?story=archive2002-10-31&query=Ghost%2BStories Aloha, Scott! (A major John Stanley fan!)
