Weird War Tales #16 - non-attributed Alex Nino art

Weird War Tales #16

Weird War Tales v1 #16, 1971 - Two Alex Nino stories appear in this bronze age war issue. The first depicts an alien invasion of Earth and begins with a stunning opening page. It is meticulously drawn on a level of detail not often seen in his 1970s work. Nino's second tale is set during World War Two, as American GIs encounter a gypsy boy with mysterious powers. The artist's layouts are bolder and more interesting, moving from rectangular to vertical to horizontal formats with ease. It's a rare opportunity to see two different, yet similar approaches from the same artist within a single issue. Alfredo Alcala adroitly illustrates the lead story. This is 4 of 13 Weird War Tales issues by Nino. /// Nino gallery
