Halloween HeartBreak YOAKE NO VAMPIRE Part 1

No matter what it's called...
...it is Anne Rice's Interview With the Vampire.

The translators kept the integrity of the art by not flopping it to accommodate Western reading habits.
For the record, I agree with them.

Amorous Education SEDUCTION "Second Stringer"

What could be more autumnal than college football?
Perhaps a romance between a girl and two guys...a college football star and a college bookstore employee?


Scripted by Steve Jones and illustrated by Sandy Carruthers, this never-reprinted tale from Malibu's one-shot anthology Seduction (1991) takes a classic romance comics trope and updates it for a more modern sensibility!
You may note the art isn't as "polished" as most of the work we've presented.
From the mid-1980s to the mid-1990s, there was a boom in b/w comics, and publishers were desperate for material, so some artists who were not-quite-ready-for-primetime got a once in a lifetime break.
One of them was Sandy Carruthers, who co-created a comic series that would produce a far more famous movie/tv franchise...Men in Black!

"Gift of the Magi" by O Henry

Our post of an adaptation of O Henry's famous Xmas tale is our most popular Christmas post...
...and we have no doubt this will match or exceed it!
This never-reprinted adaptation of the O Henry short story from First Comics/Berkley Publishing's short-lived revival of Classics Illustrated was written and illustrated by Gary Gianni in his comic book debut!
Trivia: Gianni scripted and rendered the entire six-story issue, #15 (1990), himself!
Gary's detailed, decidedly-retro style has since made him a fan favorite, especially for his work on Indiana Jones, The Shadow, Doc Savage and Hellboy!
Merry Christmas to All...
...and to All, a Good Night!
