Black and White Wednesday: "Speed Demon" by Ernie Colon

Check it out, Groove-ophiles! During Atlas/Seaboard's short but oh-so-memorable life, writer/artist Ernie Colon not only worked on Tiger-Man and The Grim Ghost, but he also found time to write and draw this short shocker for the first ish of Weird Tales of the Macabre (cover-dated January 1975)! Can you dig "Speed Demon", race fans?

    The vitality of Ernie Colon's artwork during this time is utterly fantastic. Our most underrated living comic book artist.

    I always found Ernie Colon's art too cartoony for serious stories.

    I think Colon's art is fine here. Made me think of an horror-themed Michel Vaillant story, which is quite disturbing.
