An Eye for an Eye

After the last couple lengthy posts, how about a nice short 'n sweet one from the Fall 1952 issue of Nightmare Vol. 1 #2. And this one goes out to the moronic boozers I had the misfortune of encountering this past weekend. Oh, you don't get drunk, you get awesome, right? Wrong.

++++++++++++++++++++++

Coming in 2010 from LAST GASP!

Don "Monté" Monteverde was a brilliant, influential, and ultimately elusive artist who made an invaluable contribution to American pop imagery of the fifties & sixties as The Master of Cartoon Monster Decals-- see for yourself in his new 160 page full-color biography coming soon... click HERE for all the screaming details!

There might have been something similarish, drawing lots of blanks lately. Anyone else know?

And yes, the Monte book is sure to be stupendous--- comes with decals too!
