Black and White Wednesday: "Whence Stalked the Werewolf" by Brown and Garzon

HowOOOOOO's it hangin', Groove-ophiles! It's Wednesday, so how 'bout a wild-n-woolly werewolf tale to terrify ya? From Nightmare 1974 Yearbook (and originally published in Nightmare #5), here's "Whence Stalked the Werewolf" by Len Brown and Carlos Garzon!

The Boys from Derby: "Death In the Storm!" by Molloy, Newton, and Adkins

Check it out, Groove-ophiles! Here's a short shocker from The Many Ghosts of Dr. Graves #49 (October, 1974) by Joe Molloy, Don Newton, and Dan Adkins. Adkins and Newton were an incredible artistic pairing, and "Death In the Storm!" is an early indicator of just how good they could be!

Our Pal Sal: "For Sale: One Planet--Slightly Used!" by Wein, S. Buscema, and Janson

Dig it, Groove-ophiles! Here's one of Ol' Groove's all-time fave issues of The Defenders (ish #13 from February 1974, to be exact)! Written by Len Wein with art by Our Pal Sal Buscema and Klaus Janson (I do believe this is their first collaboration?), "For Sale: One Planet--Slightly Used!" has everything yers trooly loves in a super-hero classic! Great heroes (Hulk, Sub-Mariner, Dr. Strange, Valkyrie), awesome villains (Squadron Sinister and the debut of Nebulon), a villain-becoming a hero twist (Nighthawk, baby!), a wild plot, freaky title, and in-FREAKIN'-credible art! All that under a Gil Kane/Frank Giacoia cover for a quarter? Whee-o! No wonder we looooooooove the 70s!

The Grooviest Covers of All Time: More Comics Nick Cardy Made Me Buy!

Couldn't you just spend a weekend gazing at a gazillion Nick Cardy covers? Well, ten will have to do for now, but take your time and enjoy, Groove-ophiles...!

Thursday Team-up: ""Hell Is a Very Small Hulk!" by Goodwin, Trimpe, and Severin

Dig it, Groove-ophiles! Between issues 4 and 5 of Ant-Man's series in Marvel Feature, Hank Pym's incredible shrinking alter-ego appeared in Incredible Hulk #154 (May 1972). Strangely enough, the only mention of Ant-Man's series in the entire ish is an editorial aside mentioning that "Hell Is a Very Small Hulk!" takes place "...mere days before the epoch-making events in Marvel Feature #4--the start of Ant-Man's own series!" Soft sell, or what there Stan? Anywho, 'tis a cool little ish with superior art by Herb Trimpe and John Severin, with writer Archie Goodwin shrinking the Hulk down to tiny-size then pitting him (and Ant-Man, natch) up against rats, The Chameleon, and the hordes of Hydra! This one definitely made Young Groove's pulse pound--and it's still a fun fave! Enjoy, baby!
