Black and White Wednesday: "Enter, Mr. Hyde" by Skeates and Brocal
Steve Skeates and Jaime Brocal return with another Mummy Walks adventure, Groove-ophiles! This time our bandaged bad-boy meets none other than the legendary Mr. Hyde! From Eerie #78 (August 1976)..."Enter, Mr. Hyde"!
Many of the foreign artists of the 70s who worked at DC and Warren are often called great illustrators but not-very-good storytellers. That may be true in some cases, but I believe that Jamie Brocal was both a great illustrator AND storyteller. Thanks for posting this cool piece!
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!
I just found out recently that Brocal did some lovely Hogarth-style TARZAN work in the late seventies! Good stuff!
