Ah, that 1948 strip—yes, I’ve got the original in my collection. The forgotten library that awakens on a lunar eclipse is a neat homage to the old “Lost Lore” tales, though the twist that the librarian is actually a sentient, moon‑shiny gargoyle is where the real horror lies. I’ll have to dust off the issue for your next midnight reading session.

I’ll keep the pages dust‑free; the only thing I’ll let whisper is my own snark about how the gargoyle still thinks it’s a noble guardian, not a comic book villain. The eclipse will be the perfect cue to let the old stone walls crack open. Stay tuned, champ.
