Black and White Wednesday: "The Last War of the Worlds" by DuBay and Ortiz

What it is, Groove-ophiles! Here's a sci-fi shocker from Warren's 1984 #4 (August 1978) by Bill DuBay and Jose Ortiz. "The Last War of the Worlds" is a stunning sequel to (you guessed it) H.G. Wells' classic tale--but with a decidedly 1970s twist (but of course)!

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"!

Black and White Wednesday: "Comes the End Time, Chapter 4" by "Richardson" and Alcala

Hey, hey, hey, Groove-ophiles! Has it really been nearly three years since our last look at Alfredo Alcala's Voltar? oops. Well, for your long-suffering Voltar fans, here's "Comes the End Time" part 4 (script adapted by Bill Dubay under his nom de plume "Mike Richardson") from The Rook #5 (August 1980)!

Black and White Wednesday: "The Strange Incurable Hauntings of Terrible Phinaeus Boggs" by DuBay and Severin

HoooOOOw's it shakin', Groove-ophiles! Bill DuBay's contributions to Warren Magazines as both writer and editor (and sometimes artist) are pretty monumental, to say the least. Here's a classic written by the Dube with incredible art by John Severin from Creepy #83 (August 1976): "The Strange Incurable Hauntings of Terrible Phinaeus Boggs!"

Black and White Wednesday: "Visit to a Primitive Planet" by DuBay and Severin

Dig it, Groove-ophiles! Creepy #105 (December 1978) was one far-out mag! I've already laid some of the sensational stories from it 'pon ya, and here's another--a real, sci-fi fear-fable by Bill DuBay and John Severin! Are you ready for a..."Visit to a Primitive Planet"?

Black and White Wednesday: "They're Going to be Turning Out the Lights" by DuBay and Nino

Check it out, Groove-ophiles! Ya know how much we love Alex Nino art here in Groove City, so here's a neat-o Nino b&w shocker from Creepy #100 (June 1978)! Written by publisher James Warren's right-hand man, Bill DuBay, here's "They're Going to be Turning Out the Lights"!

Black and White Wednesday: "Bad Day 'Cross 110th Street" by DuBay and Nino

What it is, Groove-ophiles! Here's one'a those "you hadda be there to remember this" strips--Abelmar Jones, from Warren's Eerie. Created by Warren mainstay Bill DuBay, Abelmar Jones could be summed up as "Jimmy Walker as Harry Potter"--that is, if Harry Potter had existed back then. A down-to-earth street kid hooks up with a wizard and ca-razee stuff ensues. Not a bit PC, baby; remember it came out during the days of Good Times and Welcome Back, Kotter, so that's the mindset of the times. Alex Nino's art is gorgeous as always, if a bit cluttered by all of the Dube's captions and balloons. A rarity is a rarity, though, is it not? From Eerie #92 (April 1978), here's a "Bad Day 'Cross 110th Street"!

If you're interested, Abelmar Jones also appeared in Eerie #'s 93, 95, and 128!
