Black and White Wednesday: "Plague of the Wolf" by Moench and Bolle

HooOOOW's it shakin', Groove-ophiles! Today's fear-fest comes from Warren's Vampirella #7 (June 1970) and features the second pro script from one of Ol' Groove's all time favorite comicbook writers, Doug Moench. With stunning art by Frank Bolle, here's "Plague of the Wolf!"

Random Reads: "The Plague!" by Warner and Bolle

Hey, hey, hey, Groove-ophiles! Here's a fun sci-fi shocker from young John Warner (who'd go on to co-create Bloodstone and edit for Marvel's magazine line) and seasoned vet Frank Bolle from Twilight Zone #59 (July 1974). Look out! Here comes..."The Plague!"

Groove's Faves: "Seawinds of Change!" by Gerber and Heck

What it is, Groove-ophiles! I know a lot of ya didn't dig it, but Young Groove really flipped out over the new threads  Reed Richards created for Prince Namor in Savage Sub-Mariner #67 (August 1973). While I never could figure out how a dude became "savage" by actually putting on more clothes, I thought the dark blue suit was much more regal and dynamic than those old scaly green trunks. Leave it to Mighty Marvel to spend an entire issue explaining why a super-hero gets a new costume (placing an entire race into a chemical-induce coma and plugging in guest stars like the FF and Triton of the Inhumans) as part of the plot), and then only let him wear it on the very last page! Still, t'was an exciting tale of triumph and tragedy that Ol' Groove still gets a kick out of. What do you think of Steve Gerber, Don Heck, and Frank Bolle's "Seawinds of Change!", Groove-ophiles? Here 'tis in all its glory (minus extraneous sub-plot pages)...
