Item Description
8x11" magazine format TV Week from The Philadelphia Inquirer June 25, 1972. Doctor Shock was the television horror host for Philadelphia from 1970 until 1979. He appeared on several shows over the years: Scream In, Horror Theater, and Mad Theater. All of these shows aired on WPHL-TV, Channel 17. He was known as the mad magician of fright, and would frequently perform magic tricks during his show. Dr. Shock was played by Joe Zawislak, a magician from the Manyunk region of Philadelphia. His show, Scream In, had the addition of his daughter, Doreen. By adding the child, Channel 17 hoped to tell parents that it was okay for their children to watch. Doreen was called Bubbles in honor of the show’s sponsor Bubbles Booth Soda. Dr. Shock ruled the Saturday night spot. A crease on left side of book from top toward spine that makes book bend upward but doesn't break color. Minor edge wear, small tears. VG. Great cover image of Dr. Shock and his daughter. Scarce regional issue.
