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!
Ah, more lovely and unjustly obscure work by the great Alex Nino. Thanks for sharing, Groove...
ReplyDeletePhenomenal splash page, similar to his experimentations in 1984 magazine.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favorite Alex Nino stories for DC, and there were many good ones.
ReplyDeleteNino's art is decorative and tremendously inventive. His work in HOUSE OF MYSTERY, HOUSE OF SECRETS, SECRETS OF SINISTER HOUSE, RIMA, "Captain Fear" in ADVENTURE COMICS, and many other DC anthology titles are among the best of the period.
The only artist I could even compare him to is Walt Simonson. It was really cool to have Simonson do a brief 3-issue backup revival of Captain Fear in 1980 in UNKNOWN SOLDIER, that emphasized the similarities.
Great stuff.
