D-Day in the Comics...Plus Other Goodies!
The final part of our Summer Mini-Blogathon is underway...
Already up are...
(Yes, it was reprinted in a Marvel Masterworks a decade ago, but those are extremely-expensive and didn't sell very well, so most of you have never seen this tale from 53 years ago!)
We gave equal time to Fury's DC counterpart, Sgt. Rock, presenting his never-reprinted D-Day adventure!
But that's not all, True Believer!

Reading Room SIR LEO "Mark of Death"
There's something inhuman lurking in London...
...and only psychedelic Victorian monster-hunter Sir Leo can deal with it!
Written and illustrated by Jose Bea and co-written by Luis Vigil, this tale from from Dracula #9 (1971) is a kool take on the "transforming human" trope popular in horror and sci-fi literature.
Even though it'll be after Halloween, we're presenting the remaining, never-published in the US, story of Sir Leo the first Tuesday of November!

Reading Room SIR LEO "Cat"
Another never-seen in America tale of the psychedelic Victorian monster hunter...
...from the Swinging 70s!
Written and illustrated by Jose Bea and co-written by Luis Vigil, this tale from from Dracula #8 (1971) answers a lot of things regarding cats that I (and, I'm sure, a lot of readers) wondered about.
We're presenting the remaining two stories of Sir Leo during October and November.
Don't miss them!
