AGAR-AGAR "Martian Visitors"

...well, all you really need know is that a good time was had by all!
Let's continue...
This story from New England Library's Dracula #9 (1971) was written by Luis Gasca under the pen-name Sadko  and illustrated in a Peter Max-esque style by Alberto Solsona.
In prepping these scans, I discovered the stories had been published out of order!
Four weeks ago, I ran the tale from Dracula #8, so logically, the tale two weeks ago should have been #9...except the storyline from #8 lead directly into the story from #10...which leads into this one from #9, and, tomorrow, finally #11!
It'll be a groovy trip, baby!
The Startling Conclusion to this Psychedelic Saga!
We Guarantee...
You'll Cry If You Miss It!

AGAR-AGAR "Forest of Life and Death"

xxxxxxxxxx
This story from New England Library's Dracula #10 (1971) was written by Luis Gasca under the pen-name Sadko  and illustrated in a Peter Max-esque style by Alberto Solsona.
In prepping these scans, I discovered the stories had been published out of order!
Two weeks ago, I ran the tale from Dracula #8, so logically, this week should have been #9...except the storyline from #8 leads directly into this story from #10...which leads into #9, and finally #11!
In two weeks you'll see #9, which follows up on the conclusion of this tale.
It'll be a groovy trip, baby!
Next Week
Another Never-Reprinted Super-Love Story with Kara Zor-El!
And it's so mind-boggling and epic that we have to run it over both this blog and our sister blog, Heroines!
We Guarantee...

AGAR-AGAR "Fairest of Them All"

After Agar-Agar bedded superhero SuperBat, causing him to literally evaporate from exhaustion...
...well, we're off on another almost totally-unrelated storyline!
Surprised?
This story from New England Library's Dracula #8 (1971) was written by Luis Gasca under the pen-name Sadko  and illustrated in a Peter Max-esque style by Alberto Solsona.
It's the second of four tales unseen by American audiences, since Warren Magazines reprinted only the first six issues of Dracula in their 1972 trade paperback.
But you'll see the remaining stories on alternate weeks, rotating with never-reprinted Silver Age romances of Supergirl!
It'll be a groovy trip, baby!
Next Week
Another Never-Reprinted Super-Love Story with Kara Zor-El!
She's been jilted, rejected, and dumped!
But, payback's a super-bitch!
And We Guarantee...
You'll Cry If You Miss It!

AGAR-AGAR "Village in the Sea"

Weird Halloween Romances AGAR-AGAR "Rendezvous with Aquarius"

This isn't a scary tale...
...but it is a wild, surreal tale of inter-species love!
So, enjoy!
♪"This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius...Age of Aquarius..."♫
Oops, sorry, got carried away there for a second.
This psychedelic mini-series had eight installments, each one weirder than the previous.
Agar-Agar "got physical" (in a PG-13 way) with a variety of life-forms including centaurs, super-heroes, and a human or two.
Illustrated in a Peter Max-esque style by Alberto Solsona.
Written by Luis Gasca under the pen-name "Sadko" and published in England as part of Dracula (1971), a 12-issue partworks by New English Library, the first 3 tales made their American debut in Warren Publishing's Dracula TPB which reprinted #1-#6 of the British Dracula's run in 1973.
You'll see the rest of the series, including the five stories that have never been seen by American readers, here in once-a-month posts starting in January, 2020!
It'll be a groovy trip, baby!
Next week:
Another Tale of True Love...with a Halloween Twist!
You'll Cry Your Eyes Out if You Miss It!
(Oh, you've heard that, eh?)
