The Boys from Derby: "The Eyes of Ikaba" by Gill and Glanzman

What it is, Groove-ophiles! Here's a rare 70s Charlton Sam Glanzman story from Ghostly Tales #93 (January 1972). According to Grand Comics Database it was probably written by Joe Gill. It's a hoot of an adventure story, but it's deftly laced with a lesson in the horrors of greed and hate. Beware..."The Eyes of Ikaba!"

That and tons more goodies, including the debut of Mr. Mixit by Roger (Ol' Groove's Guns & Rosa editor) McKenzie and Steven (can ya believe he's gonna draw Fantastic Giants for Ol' Groove?!?)
