R.I.P. Richard Corben

 There was no  artist like Richard Corben, who passed December 2. While much of his output was too "mature" for Young Groove back in the Groovy Age, I have always admired his singular, savagely spectacular style. And THAT Meatloaf album cover.

Corben colors Eisner





Ken Kelly fooling Ol' Groove into thinking he was Corben! (Thanks Anonymous Groove-ophile!)









And then there was the time I was lucky enough to have a story published in an issue of The Creeps that Mr. Corben did the cover art for!


 Fly high, Rich Corben! And thank you for the adventures, shivers, and memories!

Black and White Wednesday: "The Capistrano Jewels" by Will Eisner

By popular demand, here's Will Eisner's original tale for the second ish of Kitchen Sink's underground Spirit mag from the fall of '73. Would this four pager rate an "adults only" tag in today's comicbook market?
