Black and White Wednesday: "And When I Died" by Claremont and Nebres
"Hey, Groove, " you said, "we loved that McKenzie/Starlin/Marcos sci-fi mastgerpiece last week--but where's part 3 of Chris Claremont and Rudy Nebres' rare b&w Iron Fist epic?" Why, it's right here, Groove-ophiles. Never fear!

Groovy Age Gold: "The Eye of Doom" by Basil Wolverton
Hey, hey, hey, Groove-ophiles! By the time Marvel launched it's "latest" (40 years ago, y'know) reprint/mystery mag Weird Wonder Tales #1 (September 1973), Young Groove was really into reprint mags. Whether it be DC's 100 pagers or Wanted Golden Age reprints, or Marvel Triple Action style Silver Age reprints, yers trooly was on the lookout for 'em. When Marvel reprinted stuff from their Golden Age, t'was a rare and wondrous thing, like Basil Wolverton's "The Eye of Doom" which was originally published in Mystic #6 (cover-dated January 1952). This story creeped me out in the best of ways, and did I ever grow to love the singular art stylings of Basil Wolverton. Check it out!

Random Reads: "The Trophy" by Joe Kubert
Greetings, Groove-ophiles! Imagine one of the world's most iconic literary characters written and drawn by one of the most universally acclaimed comicbook creators of all time, and you have DC's Tarzan mag by Joe Kubert. Kubert's art was lush, majestic, naturalistic. His stories totally captured the vibe of Edgar Rice Burroughs' pulp adventures. Comics don't get a whole lot better DC's Tarzan issues 207-249 (February 1972-February 1976). Just grab a random ish, say Tarzan #218 (January 1973) featuring Joe Kubert's "The Trophy" and you'll get a pretty good idea of what Ol' Groove's rappin' about!
