Weird Mystery Tales #9 - Nestor Redondo, Alex Nino art

Weird Mystery Tales #9

Weird Mystery Tales v1 #9, 1974 - In this period Nestor Redondo tale, an Englishman's obsession with chess leads to the murder of his competitor. Stylish and sophisticated, each panel is precisely detailed. Riding horses, clothing and architecture all benefit from his streamlined approach. By contrast, Alex Nino tells of a man grieving over his dead son, a purported warlock. His linework is harsh and sharply rendered, appropriate for the surreal nightmarish images required. Other artists in this bronze age comic include Jess Jodloman. Cover by Luis Domingez. This is 3 of 6 Weird Mystery Tales issues by Nino and 1 of 2 Weird Mystery Tales issues by Redondo. /// Nino gallery
