Check it out, Groove-ophiles! Here's a teaming of the titanic talents of Nick Cuti and Steve Ditko on a real chiller-diller from Monster Hunters #8 (August 1976). Keeping it short and sweet, read "Frogman"!
Surprised you didn't tuck this one away for your annual Halloween fright fest. Perhaps you've got scarier stuff set aside? (Coming to think of it, Ditko's Frogman is actually kinda huggable, no?)

As for the rest of ya, the purpose of this blog is to (re)introduce you to the great comics of the 1970s. If you like what you see, do what I do--go to a comics shop, bookstore, e-Bay or whatever and BUY YOUR OWN!
Ditko rules!

'Tis but a mild taste of what is to come--starting TOMORROW, Andrew! As always, you've got it on the ball, my friend.
ReplyDeleteWow! Fantastic work by the great Steve Ditko! Nick Cuti does a bang-up job, as usual.
ReplyDeleteAs much as I like Ditko's superhero work, I think I like his work on these Charlton horror anthologies even better.
