It's October! Didja think Ol' Groove was gonna forget about...
No way!
Though it only lasted for three installments (
Eerie #'s 57, 58, and 60), Richard Corben's
Child (written by Greg Potter and Budd Lewis), is a short series that is still fondly remembered by Warren buffs. This touching and twisted take on the
Monster of Frankenstein still grabs Ol' Groove. I mean, how can you not feel for a monster with a child's head/face?
Child's innocence reminds me of the Wein/Gerber era
Hulk, but set in a darker, more
Swamp Thing-like "reality". So poplar was the debut of this feature that it was reprinted in both issues 1
and 4 of
Comix International (1975-1976). This set of scans comes from
CI #4. Dig it!
