Bob Powell, as
I said, was as his best in the horror genre; and he seemed to have taken
a fondness for hellish matters. You've already appreciated his page of
"La Liga de los Condenados"; now I'm bringing another page of similar
theme, from "Cuentos de Brujas" Nº14, of November 1952: following
the former (which was Nº13), he went even deeper in his exploration
of infernal horrors: now we're shown the Horrid Pit itself, with fires
and all... This is page 6 of "El Pozo de los Condenados" ("The Pit of the
Damned"), and I really had a hard time in choosing one among the seven
splendid pages of the story. Powell's mastery of the medium, and his innovative
approach are in full shine, making this story, about the owner of a "Spook
House" who gets involved in devilish bargains in order to attract people
to his show, a really delectable yarn for us classic horror-comics fans...
Enjoy it! |
