Black and White Wednesday: "Angel of Jaipur" by DuBay and Severin
Sometimes Ol' Groove just has to sit back and let two masters of the medium let their work do the talking for them. From
Creepy #89 (April 1977) here are Bill DuBay and John Severin with..."angel of Jaipur"!

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!
John Severin did some amazing work for Warren; both at its very beginning and near the tail end. This story shows an accumulation of all the tricks he'd learned in the trade by that point.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely amazing, that might be the single best post you ever made. I can't get enough of old war comics.
ReplyDeleteDamn, that was a good story.
ReplyDeleteAlways great to see work by John Severin, Groove, especially his b&w stuff. Thanks for posting.
ReplyDeleteBtw, nice timing (even if the story is mainly about the British:)
