Weird War Tales #55 - non-attributed Alex Nino art, Joe Kubert cover

Joe Kubert

Weird War Tales v1 #55, 1977 - Seeking to crush a peasant uprising, a Mexican general disguises one of his soldiers to impersonate their long-dead resistance hero. Harsh and heavily textured, Alex Nino's artwork matches the tale's brutality. Several panels are overworked and lack clarity. His layouts, however, rebel against the norm. Nino combines open and closed panels in varying sizes, resulting in a strong, memorable work. Joe Kubert's yeti-themed cover effectively merges both horror and war genres. Other artists in this bronze age comic include Romeo Tanghal and Bill Draut. This is 17 of 52 Weird War Tales issues by Kubert and 10 of 13 Weird War Tales issues by Nino. /// Nino gallery
