Tony DeZuniga Week! "The Avenging Grave" by Kanigher and DeZuniga


Today is Veterans Day here in the U.S, so Ol' Groove thinks its only fitting that we tip our collective hats to the men and women who have given--and continue to give--so much for our freedoms. "The Avenging Grave" written by Robert Kanigher was originally published in Weird War Tales #8 (August 1972). I think it is a sterling example of Tony DeZuniga unleashed. Enjoy!

Veterans Day Salute: Jack Kirby's Losers in "Good-Bye Broadway...Hello Death!"

Ol' Groove would like to extend a heartfelt "Thank You" to all of our men and women in uniform, past and present. I can't think of anyone better to showcase on Veterans Day than Jack "King" Kirby, who put his own military experiences to good use as writer/artist/editor of a short, but sweet, stint on Our Fighting Forces starring the Losers. "Good-Bye Broadway...Hello Death!" is a personal fave from Our Fighting Forces #156 (March 1975).

(Don't sweat it, man! Black and White Wednesday will be back next week!)
