Lizzie Borden and Creepy Comic Book

A Very Creepy Blog (yes, that is the name) posted on September 2 that a comic book called “Creepy” once published a Lizzie Borden story called “Reasonable Doubt.”

As far as I can tell, the issue was published July 1967. There are lots of copies out there on the Internets—so you are bound to be able to pick one up inexpensively.

Fourth is “A Reasonable Doubt” by Tony Williamsune (art) and Ron Parker (story). A man rescues a girl, Elizabeth, who is pursued by a mob. She tells him that they accused her of being a witch after her parent’s deaths. She tells him of her past and they head to a cabin in the woods. It is only there that he discovers the truth, that she’s Lizzie Borden, who quickly comes after him with a hatchet!
