Black and White Wednesday: Gardner Fox and Barry Smith's "The Boy Who Loved Trees!"

Here's a far-out collaboration between Golden Age vet Gardner Fox and Groovy Age maestro Barry (Windsor-) Smith from Vampirella #9 (cover-dated January 1970). Bet you'll dig "The Boy Who Loved Trees!"

  2. Hey Groovyone!
    I never saw this story before. Thanks for posting it for all of us to enjoy! Creepy story & cool! Reminds me of the old Night Gallery tv series. I forward this link onto Roy Thomas this afternoon also. He never seen this story either to my surprise. Maybe he'll comment on it! Keep up the groovy work! We appreciate your hard work very much! Mike
