Frightful Friday Fun CRAZY "Drag-ula!"

No, it's not a tale of a transvestite Transylvanian...

...(that's Rocky Horror Picture Show) but our final Dracula tale is a humorous look at the original "bat man" from Atlas' CRAZY #2 (1954)

As was usual with the lead tale in Atlas' CRAZY, this tale was lovingly-rendered by the amazing Bill Everett!

Heck, Bill might even have written it, since he had a number of scripting credits already!

Frightful Friday Fun DRACULA Dracula One-Page Tales #4

The English-language version of the 1970s Spanish Dracula magazine didn't have any Dracula...

...because they left out these kool, wordless, one-page features from the back cover of the original Spanish editions!

Note these the first one also features Frankenstein's Monster and The Mummy!
And the second one introduces aliens into the mix!

Both England's New English Library and America's Warren Magazines (who licensed the NEL translated version) left out these entertaining pieces...despite the fact no translation was needed!

Written and illustrated by Alfonso Figueras, these one-pagers now make their American debut!

Be here every Friday in October for more kool vampire humor!

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder AGAR-AGAR "Over the Rainbow"

It's all been leading up to this...

...and to paraphrase what they say about Las Vegas; what happens in the Temple of Love stays in the Temple of Love!

Don't you just love a happy...if somewhat confusing...ending?

Trivia: I recently learned "Laurence James" has been credited in the Grand Comics Database with the English translations of all the Dracula magazine material (including the Agar-Agar strip) which had been originally-published for the Spanish market!
I haven't been able to find any other credits under this name, so I'm uncertain if "Laurence James" was a real name or a pseudonym.

Anybody out there know the answer?

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder AGAR-AGAR "Martian Visitors"

When Last We Left Our Horny (yet Innocent) Sprite...

...(hey, it was the Swinging Seventies) well, all you really need know is that a good time was had by all!

Let's continue...

This story from New England Library's Dracula #9 (1971) was written by Luis Gasca under the pen-name Sadko  and illustrated in a Peter Max-esque style by Alberto Solsona.

In prepping these scans, I discovered the stories had been published out of order!
Two weeks ago, I ran the tale from Dracula #8, so logically, the tale last week should have been #9...except the storyline from #8 lead directly into the story from #10...which leads into this one from #9, and, next week, #11!

NEXT WEDNESDAY...

The Startling Conclusion to this Psychedelic Saga!

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder AGAR-AGAR "Forest of Life and Death"

When Last We Left Our Horny Sprite...

If you were expecting a synopsis of what came before...why?

This story from New England Library's Dracula #10 (1971) was written by Luis Gasca under the pen-name Sadko  and illustrated in a Peter Max-esque style by Alberto Solsona.

In prepping these scans, I discovered the stories had been published out of order!
A week ago, I ran the tale from Dracula #8, so logically, this week should have been #9...except the storyline from #8 leads directly into this story from #10...which leads into #9, and finally #11!
Next week, you'll see #9, which follows up on the conclusion of this tale.

It'll be a groovy trip, baby!

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder AGAR-AGAR "Fairest of Them All"

After Agar-Agar bedded superhero SuperBat, causing him to literally evaporate from exhaustion...

...well, we're off on another almost totally-unrelated storyline!

Surprised?

This story from New England Library's Dracula #8 (1971) was written by Luis Gasca under the pen-name Sadko  and illustrated in a Peter Max-esque style by Alberto Solsona.

It's the second of four tales unseen by American audiences, since Warren Magazines reprinted only the first six issues of Dracula in their 1972 trade paperback.
But you'll see the remaining stories here over the next few weeks! weeks.

It'll be a groovy trip, baby!

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder AGAR-AGAR "Even Heroes Get Tired!"

When Last We Left Our Innocent, yet Horny, Heroine...

...oh, c'mon!

You really think there's a coherent narrative link in this strip?

So that's why Clark and Lois never...you know...until recently!

This story from New England Library's Dracula #7 (1971) was written by Luis Gasca under the pen-name Sadko  and illustrated in a Peter Max-esque style by Alberto Solsona.

It's the first of four tales unseen by American audiences, since Warren Magazines reprinted only the first six issues of Dracula in their 1972 trade paperback.

But you'll see the other three on the next few Wednesdays!

It'll be a groovy trip, baby!
