Dark Mansion #15 - Alex Nino art
Forbidden Tales of the Dark Mansion #15, 1974 - Among other things, this issue includes a short story by Nathaniel Hawthorne, author of The Scarlet Letter and other novels. An old witch brings a scarecrow to life, transforming him into a handsome nobleman than can pass through polite society. This adaptation is deftly visualized by Alex Nino, who employs a streamlined style that retains the sophistication of the original. Most noteworthy is his opening panel: a view through the cornstalks that's both secretive and voyeuristic. Other artists in this issue include Howard Chaykin, Dan Green, Gerry Talaoc and Nick Cardy (cover). This is number 3 of 3 Dark Mansion issues with Nino art and/or covers.
