I really should have been posting about this here all along... but the one I finished putting up just a few minutes ago was what really inspired me to come here and start this thread. It's Alberto Breccia's 1974 version of " THE TELL-TALE HEART", which was published in ALTER LINUS #9 (Milano Libri Edizioni / Italy / Sep'75), and reprinted MANY times since... but never, as far as I know, in English... UNTIL NOW. http://professorhswaybackmachine.blogspot.com/2015/05/poe-1975-pt16.htmlFrom my blog-- in reference to Alberto Breccia's " TELL-TALE HEART" (1974-75)... "As I worked on this, it slowly started to dawn on me that this single 11-page story is probably the very thing that "inspired" Keith Giffen to imitate, BADLY, from the panel layouts, to the miminalist drawing, to the lighting, to the repetitive panels and their "timing", when he was working on the infamous "Five Years Later" run of DC's LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES. I cannot for the life of me envision anything LESS appropiate for a utopian future science-fiction series. Would to GOD he had never done such a horrible, misguided thing. It's over 25 years ago, and the wretched horror of those issues still haunts me. Oh well. But, back to Breccia... "

Thanks Prof. My dad's a big Poe fan, so I've read any number of comic adaptations down the years. Looking forward to looking at the links this weekend.

MARVEL CLASSICS COMICS #28 (May'77) "A Cask Of Amontillado"art by Michael Golden http://professorhswaybackmachine.blogspot.com/2015/05/poe-1977-pt-4.htmlLooking at Mike Golden's work all cleaned up, I suddenly realize that certain periods of Keith Giffen's work, he must have been channeling a bit of Golden (Giffen seems to have been schizo when it came to his art style, every other year he was "doing" some other artist). This actually reminds me of Giffen-Mahlstedt, early in his 1st LEGION run. I can hardly believe I've spent 7-1/2 months on this project and still feel like I'm only getting started. I think the variety of talent involved keeps me going.

My jaw is dropping right now. My friend In Brazil, Toni Rodrigues, just came through in a manner and to an extent to which I never even dreamed of, and which exceeded any possible expectations I might have had.
He just e-mailed me-- in ONE go-- the contents of 4 different Brazillian comics, containing no less than 8 POE stories I didn't have before! 8 !!!!!!!!!! I'm absolutely astonished.
Among them was the Manoel Ferreira "RED DEATH", possibly the single story I have done more online searches for than any other, since I first learned of its existence.
This is just incredible. At the rate I'm, going, I won't even get to the stuff from Italy until September... at the earliest.

I was at one of the world's oldest surviving Music halls a couple of nights back to see a modern take on the Fall of the House of Usher. The finale was particularly good stuff.
Looking forward to taking a look at these, as always Prof.

If you want to start from the "beginning", here's the oldest one at the blog. Each page is linked to the next one chronologically, in sequence. Or, you can jump to EVERY version of any given story from any other version, and read them in whatever order you want! CLASSIC COMICS 17 (Gilberton / January 1944) " ANNABEL LEE" http://professorhswaybackmachine.blogspot.com/2018/05/poe-1944-pt-1.htmlLINK UPDATED / 3-22-2020

Thanks as always Prof. The face of Death was chillingly rendered by Everett.

You know, it's one thing to do a blatent SWIPE of a Poe story, but it's quite another to do a blatent SWIPE of somebody else's SEQUEL to a Poe story-- and only 3 months after said story was published! From STRANGE FANTASY #4 (Ajax-Farrell / Feb'53) comes a sequel to Poe's "THE CASK OF AMONTILLADO" art by the Iger Shop http://professorhswaybackmachine.blogspot.com/2015/11/poe-1953-pt-1.html

From SHOCK SUSPENSTORIES #8 (EC / Apr-May'53) ... art by the George Evans (3 pages of it anyway) great Evans art. You really feel the growing terror of the main character.

Thought I'd tracked down a copy but it turned out to only be the title page of each story in that issue! I doubt I have a physical copy but next time I'm at my storage unit I'll rummage around.

POE in PROGRESS
I'm currently looking for the following POE stories. Some of these may turn up online, but I haven't found then yet... (List UPDATED 7-29-2017)
SPELLBOUND #2 (Marvel / Apr'52) "The End!" (based on "The Pit And The Pendulum") art by Russ Heath (6 pp.)
PAGINAS SINISTRAS #3 (Editora Outubro / Brazil / 1966) "O Gato Preto" art by Juarez Odilon (I have this as a reprint from 1974, however, the line quality is ABOMINABLY bad!!! And, I could really use a MUCH bigger and better scan of the cover as well.)
ALBUM CLASSICOS DE TERROR #1 & 2 (Editora Taika / Brazil / 1967) "??" (Since issues #3-7 all have 1 or more Poe stories in them, in seems a fair bet these do as well.)
TERROR CLASICO MAISAL #4 (Ediciones Maisal, S.A. / Spain / 1980) "Terror En Usher" (illustrated story)
JOYAS DE LA LITERATURA #128 (Niesa Editores / Mexico / 19??) "El Escarabajo De Oro" ("The Gold Bug")
JOYAS DE LA LITERATURA presenta: CLASICOS DE TERROR #4 (Novedades Editores / Mexico / Sep 27 1993) "Cayendo En El Maelstrom" ("Descent Into The Maelstrom")
Joyas De La Literatura presenta: CLASICOS DE TERROR #10 (Novedades Editores / Mexico / Apr 1 2000) "El Pozo Y El Pendulo" ("The Pit And The Pendulum")
Between late 2016-early 2017 I was able to knock a PILE of items off my wanted list! Still a ways to go.

Until 2006, Battaglia held the record for having done the most Poe adaptations by a single comics artist. 2nd place was tied at 9 apiece by Gahan Wilson (in 1990), Bill D. Fountain (in 1995) and Horacio Lalia (between 1998 and 1999).

At last, I've finished another story. This one, the actual comic was MISSING 2 pages-- and I decided to create BRAND-NEW pages to replace them!! from ALBUM CLASSICOS DE TERROR #3(Editora Taika / Brazil / 1967) comes the 4th comics version of Poe's "HOP FROG" Art by Ignacio Justo & "Edegar" (now seen INTACT for the first time ever!!!) http://professorhswaybackmachine.blogspot.com/2016/03/poe-1967-pt-4.html

MISTERIOS DE CUARTO CERRADO (Mysteries Of Closed Rooms) cover by LEANDRO FERNANDEZ (Pictus / Argentina / 2014) 8 comics adaptations of stories from Arthur Conan Doyle, Wilkie Collins, Gilbert K. Chesterton, Jacques Futrelle, and of course, Edgar Allan Poe. The stories I got this for were " THE PURLOINED LETTER" illustrated by Oscar Capritso, and " THE MURDERS IN THE RUE MORGUE" illustrated by Leandro Fernandez. A special thanks must go to Delfino Maroni at the QuioSquito online book store in ARGENTINA. The site is really set up to attract foreign sales, and he went way beyond the pale to make my purchase as pleasant as possible. The international shipping was a lot more than it could have been, but I specifically wanted the National Postal System, as it was the only way I could make sure it was delivered to my new PO BOX, instead of my porch. Too much chaos of late in my neighborhood, and the added expense at BOTH ends is to ensure I eliminate a lot of STRESS related to it.

My latest acquisition: JOYAS DE LA LITERATURA 17cover by F. SAMANIEGO (Novedades Editores / Mexico / November 15, 1984) CUENTOS DE TERROR: "LA MUERTA ROJA" / Version 20 "LA CITA" ("THE APPOINTMENT") / ("THE ASSIGNATION") / Version 1 "METZENGERSTEIN" / Version 8 "EL CUERVO" / Version 21 Adaptations by Remy Bastien Jr. / Text by Mecedes Arce B. / Art by ALFONSO MARTINEZ These things rarely ever turn up on Ebay, and when they do, I have to JUMP on them, or they're gone... and they may not turn up again! I've been slowly compiling indexes (and cover mages) of these 2 series: NOVELAS INMORTALES (in B&W) and JOYAS DE LA LITERATURA (in color). There are literally around 900 issues of each, and most of them I have never laid eyes on, nor are they indexed anywhere in any comprehensive form. I'm hoping to change that. But in the meantime, I have to keep an eye out.

One of the most STUNNING upgrades of a previously-posted story to date! from ALBUM CLASSICOS DE TERROR #6(Editora Taika / Brazil / 1968) comes the 3rd comics version of Poe's "BERENICE" Art by Ignacio Justo & "Edegar" (now REMASTERED from HIGH-RES scans!) http://professorhswaybackmachine.blogspot.com/2016/03/poe-1968-pt-2.html

My latest acquisition & cover restoration: TALES FROM ETERNAL WORLDS #1(Rogue Comics / Ireland / February 2019) cover by Oisin Roche This is my very FIRST comic from Ireland. It's a magazine-size "TPB" format, with painted covers (front and back) and a contents page that clearly mimicks a design from the Warren books. It's entirely the work of ONE artist, Oisin Roche, and it's one of the STRANGEST books I have ever laid eyes on. I can tell this guy knows how to draw, but his inks / finishes are just... BIZARRE. The stories (by a variety of writers, including Poe) are, if anything, even more bizarre. With some of the crazy S*** I've seen in the last few years, this isn't the most disturbing, but I honestly think if it hadn't been for a 5-page adaptation of " Silence" (one of Poe's most obscure, indefinable works), I doubt I would have gone after this. The Poe story has the MOST accomplished art, by far. The rest meanders somewhere between "ethereal" and "unfinished" somehow. I'm glad Morten F. Thomsen pointed this out to me. Being it's from such a small company, I figured there might be a limited print run, which was why I jumped on it so fast. But I guess part of me is hoping this guy, if he does more issues, DOESN'T do any more Poe. This one book is more than enough of his work, for me. (I hate sounding negative, but I am trying to be honest.)

This is HUGE. I've just polished off the FINAL story from Taika. After this, if I tackle any more Taika stories, they'll either be if I get ahold of a pair of comics I currently have fuzzy scans of, or, if I decide to translate some " Dracula" episodes. I've been working on Taika, off-and-on, for over 4-1/2 YEARS, ever since I first found Luiz Saidenberg's version of " The Black Cat". Toni Rodrigues really helped kick it into high gear when he e-mailed me 8 complete stories, all HIGH-RES scans from the original 60s comics. It'll be great to FINALLY be able to move forward, to other things, from other countries. This turned up as a reprint from 1973 at the Banca Dos Gibis Brazucas blog, thanks to Flavio Barbier. If anyone can help me identify where it was ORIGINALLY published, you'll have my thanks (and credit at the blog). from ( currently unknown) (Editora Taika / Brazil / 1968) comes the 1st comics version of Poe's "THE IMP OF THE PERVERSE" Art by Ignacio Justo & "Edegar" http://professorhswaybackmachine.blogspot.com/2019/12/poe-1968-pt-29.html

This one's about 5-1/2 YEARS overdue... from THE SPIRIT(Register & Tribune Syndicate / August 22, 1948) comes the 3rd comics version of Poe's "THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER" Art by Will Eisner & Jerry Grandenetti https://professorhswaybackmachine.blogspot.com/2020/02/poe-1948-pt-1.htmlPage 2 I couldn't shake the feeling that Jerry Grandenetti based the un-named narrator on actor Hans Conreid.

My latest acquisiton & restoration! JOYAS DE LA LITERATURA #128cover by HERNAN L. SUAREZ (Nueva Impresora y Editora S.A. / Niesa Editores / Mexico / 2003) "EL ESCARAJO DE ORO" / Version 17 Adaptation by Emmanuel Hass L / Text by Antonella Samamniego / Art by BENITO GONZALEZ This was the very first of these books I ever saw online, 4 or 5 years ago. But until a couple weeks back, NOBODY had ever had one up for sale! This was half of an Ebay auction, where I didn't NEED the other book... but put in for it anyway. About 6 days later... I "won" the auction, as the ONLY bidder. I could have done without the suspense. The color plate registration on this cover is not very good... a shame, as it's otherwise a gorgeous piece of work. the color ion the INTERIOR story is also pretty gorgeous. The big question is, will I ever get around to processing this book to put it up?

IN THE SHADOW OF EDGAR ALLAN POEcover by STEPHEN PARKE (Vertigo / DC / October 1, 2002) This may be one of my LEAST-FAVORITE items I've gotten ahold of, in my entire mammoth Poe project. Which is rather shocking. It's a BOGUS "Poe biography", which not only adds a horrific, supernatural element to his real-life misery, but also takes any hopeful, uplifting elements of his relationships and DRAGS THEM THRU THE DIRT. I guess this is what "Vertigo" books tended to be at DC. The only "Vertigo" I've actually bought in the past was the run of " SANDMAN MYSTERY THEATRE", and while I enjoyed the crime element and the slowly-building character relationships, on at least one instance I wrote in a letter to complain about the EXCESSIVE PERVERSITY of some of Matt Wagner's stories. (I got a response from the editor... who apparently mis-interpreted what I was saying. Very odd.) When I first started this project, and for the longest time in, I had no intention of dealing with Poe biographies. I've since changed my mind... but THIS one... a purely-fictional biography, may have been stretching that point too far. NOT reccomended... unless you like reading stories that make you wanna kill yourself by the time you're done.

Possibly the single most time-consuming "upgrade" I've ever done... from YELLOWJACKET COMICS #4(Charlton / December 1944) comes the 1st comics version of Poe's " THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER" Art by Gus Schrotter http://professorhswaybackmachine.blogspot.com/2018/05/poe-1944-pt-9.html

Okay, a week late on scanning & processing, but... MY LATEST ACQUISITION (and minor cover clean-up)... PANICO #3(Safari Editorial, S.A. / Mexico / 2000 ?) " Enterrado Vivo" (" The Premature Burial") Adaptation & Art by Ruben Jaimes This publisher is a real mystery. Apart from ads on a variety of sites (including Ebay) by ONE seller who got his hands on a number of titles from them, I have not been able to find ANY info about them ANYWHERE online. I have to make a wild guess that the book came out sometime between 1990 - 2000, based entirely on a photo of a cell-phone in a PHONE SEX advert on the back cover. (Yes, that's what I said.) I just happened to see the cover on Ebay by dumb luck. I couldn't miss the title " Enterrado Vivo", or the cover painting obviously based on the poster for ' X-- THE MAN WITH X-RAY EYES" with Ray Milland, made the same year as Corman's " THE PREMATURE BURIAL". Yes, the story is very loosely based on Poe's story (though his name is not mentioned anywhere in the book), it seems slightly inspired by the Corman film, but it's also partly... a WESTERN. Go figure. I couldn't get the sticker off, I wasn't even going to try, and while it looks a bit beat-up, I decided the best thing was to just adjust the brightness & contrast slightly, and leave the rest of it AS-IS. This book is, oddly, 4" wide x 5-5/8" high. So, bigger than a "mini-comic", but smaller than a "digest".

Just looking at the Frank Bellamy art. Lovely Prof. Thanks for that.
Bellamy is a bit of a legend on this side of the pond.
