Addicted to Alex Nino: "Dead Man's Bride" by Oleck and Nino

What it is, Groove-ophiles! Today let's enjoy a macabre masterpiece by two masters of mystery, Jack Oleck and (but of course!) Alex Nino! "Dead Man's Bride" was but one sensational story out of eight from the dynamic two hundred and fifty-fourth issue of the then-Dollar Sized House of Mystery, and it's definitely one of the best! Truck on back to July 1977 with Ol' Groove, won'tcha?

    Alex Nino is one of the most talented and under-appreciated comics artists to begin working in the 1970's. He's done a tremendous range of work, and arguably did more sophisticated stuff later for Warren's CREEPY, EERIE and "1984/1994" magazines, but I'll always love his DC work the best, especially on DC's mystery titles.

    Nino got his start at DC in HOUSE OF MYSTERY 204, July 1972, although he was doing comic art in the Phillipines for about 15 years before that. When guys like Nino, Redondo, Alcala, Cruz, Chan and so forth were "new" in the U.S., they were already grandmasters with a huge body of published work in their native country.

    And good as Redondo, Alcala and Dezuniga are, my favorite of them was always Nino. Wild stuff, to be sure.
