Greetings, Groove-ophiles! How about an Alex Nino masterpiece, written by mystery/horror master George Kashdan? Well, okay! From House of Mystery #238 (May 1980), here's "Kill Me Gently!"
Fabulous stuff from Nino as usual! I've been enjoying his strips in the DC Showcase HOUSE OF MYSTERY collections. I'd argue he looks even better in b/w but what's also great is that he gives each strip it's own personal touch stylistically. I understand he had a hard time getting work at home.
Special thanks to Mike's Amazing World of Comics and Grand Comics Database for being such fantastic resources for covers, dates, creator info, etc. Thou art treasures true!
