| Surprised there isn't at least one comment considering this was the first outright horror comic. Interesting enough stories I was glad to have finally given a read. |
|
| What a great comic! I love the art style! Who drew the cover? |
|
| Bob Fujitani. There's a list of credits beneath the comic. |
|
| I can just imagine the classy dance music that came out of a slideflute-clariflute orchestra. |
|
| jerrykimbro, you are right. The Art standard in this issue is universally high. There are some really creative elements in many of these stores.
Fred Kida, Joe Kubert, Bob Fujitani, and Jon Small.
'Mystery of Murder Manor' doesn't seem to belong in this book. |
