Addicted to Alex Nino: "The Taste of Blood" by Oleck and Nino
Hey, hey, hey, Groove-ophiles! Time to dig on some stunning Alex Nino artwork! This short-shocker, written by Jack Oleck, comes your way from Secrets of Sinister House #13 (June 1973). Is today your lucky day, or what, baby?
O.k., putting aside the fact that intelligent, mobile lifeforms that evolved from plants would probably not look so much like primates, it's still an excellent little Twilight-zoneseque story. And nobody draws horror-meets-SF better than Nino.
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!
Some Trimpe would be nice...
ReplyDeleteLots of Trimpe here, just check out the index. A new Trimpe post goes up tomorrow, to boot!
DeleteI know... I even stole the images (Heaven is a...) from one of your posts to remember Trimpe in my blog...
