Behold!
The cover to 1953's Monster #1:
Ah yes. Everything that made those old horror comics great in one little package.Horrifying monstrosity? Check. Mutton-chop sideburns? Check. Vague olden-timey setting? Check. Damsel in distress? Double check. What about a clever tagline? And how!
It doesn't get much better than: "He gambled with Satan... And lost!"
But really, aside from the occasional Georgian fiddle player does anyone ever gamble with that guy and win?

Me, him, Mephisto, Lord Hades and some other guys have a floating poker game on fridays.
Here's a tip: Satan. He's not a s great as everyone might think. His left eye twitches when he's got a shit hand.
whew! at least he didn't gamble with the dreaded Dormammu and lose!
There's this song by Chris De Burgh called Spanish Train in which Jesus and the Devil play poker for souls and Jesus keeps losing because the devil cheats all the time.
It's hard to believe anyone would be naive enough to take on the devil at any kind of contest given his track record.
