Addicted to Alex Nino: "Small Invasion" by Mayer and Nino
Happy 74th Birthday, Alex Nino!! Let's dig on an early Nino fave o'mine from House of Secrets #101 (September 1972), Groove-ophiles. Written by Golden Age Great Sheldon Mayer, here's "Small Invasion"!
Happy birthday Alex! And thanks, Groove, for yet again posting some more Nino eye-candy. In a perfect world, DC would gather up every single horror, SF, etc. short story and back-up done by Nino in the 1970s/'80s and publish them in a nice big omnibus...
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!

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!
Alex Nino! The more I see of his work, the more I want to see. That is a fantastic story. I love the height mistake. It's such a weird detail.

ReplyDeleteThanks so much oh groovy one -- I always return to your page when you feature any of the Filipino greats ( Yandoc, Alcala,Nino et al )
ReplyDeleteDC are really out of their minds if they don't compile these great artists' work into some quality bound volumes.
( I love the cheap Showcase series, but I'd snap up a high quaity collection)
Any chance of running more of Jerry Grandinetti's work ?
ReplyDeleteSo much appreciate your amazing site !
So cool! I only have this in black and white when it was reproduced a few years later in a comic I have. Great to see it in colour.
