True Love Comics Tales

...beginning Monday, of course!

Note: this 50-year old tale was reprinted a decade ago...but only in black and white!

This is it's first appearance in full color since 1971!
That's half a century!
Don't miss it!

D-Day in the Comics...Plus Other Goodies!

The final part of our Summer Mini-Blogathon is underway...

as we present the D-Day exploits of the legendary Quality/DC Blackhawks!

Already up are...

Marvel's Sgt. Fury and His Howling Commandos hitting the beach on D-Day!

(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!

In addition, True Love Comics Tales returned to weekly posting, beginning with our usual Summertime "beach read" Blogathon entry, a book-length Gothic novel!

Enjoy!

Dracula

the Trade Paperback

(from 1971, featuring the first six issues of the translated-from-Spanish Dracula magazine)

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!
