Hey, hey, hey! Been a while since we grooved to some Alex Nino excellence, hasn't it? Well, that little drought ends right now! Here's "Old Samurai Never Die!" from Weird War Tales #13 (January 1973), written by Arnold Drake.
FYI: The sign on the gate of the first page is katakana, a Japanese syllabary for foreign words. If I convert it into Romanized form, it "spells" "Ninyo," or, rather, "Niño." Cool.
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!
