Does anyone still use the phrase \u201cthe life of Riley\u201d? It indicates someone enjoying a great life. The story here is called \u201cThe Life of Riley,\u201d to indicate a criminal named Riley who has his own life of Riley after a successful robbery.<\/p>\n

It is a horror comic, so a good life can turn bad before the end of the story. At least for Riley.<\/p>\n

The artwork is signed by Myron Fass, who drew comic books for a few years. Fass began living the life of Riley when he started his own magazine publishing business after his career in comics. Fass\u2019s magazines were lowbrow, but successful. I don\u2019t believe any comics fan who collects 1970s materials was not aware of Fass\u2019s Eerie Publications, which covered the sleasy magazine market well during those times. Fass died in 2006. <\/p>\n
