Wednesday Worlds of Wonder PHANTASMAGORIA "Parasite!"

Kenneth Smith is a Remarkable Comics/Sci-Fi/Fantasy Creative!
Besides having a Doctorate in European Political Philosophy, Kenneth R Smith is a talented writer-artist who's done covers for paperbacks, magazines, and comics, themed illustration portfolios, spot illustrations for magazines and several comic stories.
Here's one from the second issue of his self-published magazine, Phantasmagoria...
Beautiful work.
His comics/sci-fi/fantasy career was short, but he produced spectacular material!
And he's happily-worked in his chosen field of interest, where he's a respected figure, both simultaneously and then full-time!
Would that we all could achieve that!

Reading Room PHANTASMAGORIA "Sinking Feeling"

One of the most unique talents to ever grace the comics field...
...Kenneth Smith's work is hard to find, but well-worth tracking down, as this story he wrote and illustrated proves!
This tale from Smith's self-published Phantasmagoria #2 (1972) is a pretty good example of both his scripting and illustrating, both of which are multi-layered and require several readings to grasp all the details.
Kenneth Smith's about as close to an actual Renaissance Man as has ever contributed to the comics field!
His best-known work was the self-published anthology Phantasmagoria, whose every aspect, including printing, was under his total control! 
Fantagraphics was so impressed they offered not only to publish a continuation of it (available below), they gave him an open forum for his writing, as shown HERE!
