This of course is not a real Gold Key comic!
Back in 1964, I was a thirteen year-old bitten by the Monster Craze of the early Sixties and tried my hand doing some private comics for my own recreation which were then stashed away for some future and unforeseen use. I managed to churn out three or four complete issues of THE CASTLE before I abandoned the project and went on to something else. This is a re-creation of my original cover from 1964 which I did imitating the Gold Key comics style, complete with the familiar Gold Key seal. The comic's premise was, of course, a family of monsters living in a hilltop castle. The twist here was that they were the ones being terrorized by the nearby town's denizens who came knocking at their door with an assortment of wild schemes and requests. My original artwork from that era has been forever lost.
