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!

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.
