Forbidden Tales of Dark Mansion #15
Forbidden Tales of the Dark Mansion v1 #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 that passes through polite society. This adaptation is deftly visualized by Alex Nino, who uses a streamlined style that retains the plot's sophistication. Most noteworthy is his opening panel: a view through the cornstalks that's both arresting and voyeuristic. Other artists in this bronze age comic include Howard Chaykin, Dan Green and Gerry Talaoc. Cover by Nick Cardy. This is 3 of 3 Forbidden Tales of Dark Mansion issues by Nino. /// Nino gallery
