Addicted to Alex Nino: "Fish Story" by Oleck and Nino

Dig it, Groove-ophiles! It's been way too long since we perused an awesomely illustrated Alex Nino number, hasn't it? Well, I'm sure Ol' Groove won't have to use any bait to get you to read this short shocker written by Jack Oleck for the first issue of Secrets of the Haunted House #1 (January 1975). Have we got a "Fish Story" for you!

Addicted to Alex Nino: "People of the Dark" by Thomas and Nino

Check it out, Groove-ophiles! Roy Thomas and Alex Nino adapted Robert E. Howard's classic "People of the Dark Circle" in Savage Sword of Conan #6 (April 1975). About three-and-a-half years later, that story was reprinted in gi-normous tabloid size and in color in Marvel Treasury Edition #19 (October 1978). While you can't enjoy it in all its humongous glory online, you can still thrill and chill to Nino's incredible artistry right here, right now!

Addicted to Alex Nino: "Museum of Murder!" by Pellowski, Kanigher, and Nino

Greetings, Groove-ophiles! Let's dig on  a chiller with killer artwork by the one and only Alex Nino! "Museum of Murder!" is an offbeat story for House of Mystery (issue 256, October 1977 to be exact) for a couple reasons: it has two writers (plotter Mike Pellowski and scripter Robert Kanigher) and a single panel non-splash page (story page 4). Now those things wouldn't normally seem too out of place in a full-length tale, but in a nine page featurette? The genius of Nino! Check it out...
