1984 #2

1984 (magazine) v1 #2, 1978 - This science fiction series seems tailor made for Wally Wood's fantastical style. He illustrates the tale of an incapacitated prisoner, whose dreams are rife with sword and sorcery epics. Each page is filled with exquisite detail, from thick-limbed trees and craggy cliffs to a soaring, majestic castle. Alex Nino's story tells of a self-destruction kit mass marketed on television. Aside from the opening splash, his page designs are relatively tame compared to later works in this series. His sharp lines convey an unease consistent with the theme and mood of the plot. Other artists in this bronze age magazine include Alredo Alcala, Jim Janes, Abel Laxamana, Esteban Moroto, Rudy Nebres, Nebot, Jose Ortiz and Richard Corben. Cover by Corben. This is 2 of 10 1984 issues by Nino and 2 of 3 1984 issues by Wood. /// Nino gallery
