Black and White Wednesday: "The Myth of Dracula" by Hewetson and de la Fuente

Check it out, Groove-ophiles! Ol' Groove is a big Dracula fan, so it's always cool to see a "true history" of our favorite vampire king. Looks like Archaic Al Hewetson actually wrote an essay on "the historical" Dracula ("...the weird way it was"), then turned it over to Ramon de la Feuente (brother of Victor de la Fuente) to bring it to comicbook life. Kinda different and cool methinks. What thinkest thou? From Psycho Annual 1972/#1, here is "The Myth of Dracula!"

Black and White Wednesay: "A Picture of Dorian Gray" by Wilde, Heweston and Cesar

Dig it, Groove-ophiles! One of Ol' Groove's all-time favorite horror stories is Oscar Wilde's A Picture of Dorian Gray. Teen Groove read it in high-school and was totally wowed by the concept and Wilde's writing. Archaic Al Hewetson and Cesar Lopez Vera did a fine job of adapting the classic tale in Scream #5 (February 1974). Hope you dig it, too!

Black and White Wednesday: "Bad Choke" by Glut and Xirinius

Enter freely and of your own will, Groove-ophiles! Today we're cracking open our moldy copy of Skywald's Psycho #8 (cover-dated September 1972) to take a look at a classic short shocker by writer Don (Dr. Spektor, Dagar, Tragg) Glut and artist Jaime Juez Castella (aka Juez Xirinius). Ol' Groove loves those blackly humorous spooky stories that are built around really bad puns like..."Bad Choke!" Dig it!

And if you think they don't make 'em like this any more, check out The Creeps Magazine. Glut is writing brand new stories just like these for 'em and they're far-out!

Black and White Wednesday: "The Quest" by Margopoulos and Stone

Hey, hey, hey, Groove-ophiles! In Skywald's Psycho #2 (cover-dated March 1971), writer Rich Margopoulos and artist Chic Stone gave us a twisted twist on the "planetary romance" genre of heroes like John Carter and Esau Cairn. See for yourself as you join..."The Quest!"

Black and White Wednesday: "Whence Stalked the Werewolf" by Brown and Garzon

HowOOOOOO's it hangin', Groove-ophiles! It's Wednesday, so how 'bout a wild-n-woolly werewolf tale to terrify ya? From Nightmare 1974 Yearbook (and originally published in Nightmare #5), here's "Whence Stalked the Werewolf" by Len Brown and Carlos Garzon!

Black and White Wednesday: "Museum Piece" by Wein and Moren

Greetings, my Groovy Ghoulies! Here's a short shocker from Len (Swamp Thing) Wein and Serg Moren called "Museum Piece". Another classic from Skywald's Psycho #4 (cover-dated September 1971). Dig it!

Black and White Wednesday: "Plague of Jewels" by Bruce Jones

Greetings, Groove-ophiles! Here's an early Bruce Jones masterpiece from Skywald's Psycho #3 (cover-dated September 1971). You can't always get what you want, a wise rocker once said, but you can get more than you bargained for, too! Just ask Gary and Wayne as they find the..."Plague of Jewels"!
