Weird War Tales #16 - Alex Nino art

Weird War Tales #16, 1971 - Two Alex Nino stories grace 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 opportuniity to see two different, yet similar approaches from the same artist within a single issue. Alfredo Alcala adroitly illustrates the lead story. This is number 4 of 9 Weird War Tales issues with Nino art and/or covers. See today's posts or more Nino or Weird War Tales issues. See also this blog's Alex Nino checklist.
