Wrapping it up on the new Skywald aquisitions... This issue has more than it's share of reprints, but they're all good, so who's complaining!

Nightmare 21

Plus -
You ALSO get a fab collection of radio trailers including such monster classics as The Blob, Caltiki The Immortal Monster, It Conquered The World, Monster From Green Hell, Yog, Ghidrah, Godzilla, Atragon, King Kong Escapes as well as Blaxsploitation masterpieces such as Shaft, J.D.s' Revenge, Sugar Hill, Cleopatra Jones, Black Ceasar, Dr Black & Mr Hyde, Coffy, Blacula, Scream Blacula Scream, The Thing With Two Heads, The Mack.... AS WELL AS a weird assortent of primo psychotronic trailers such as Psych-Out, Death Race 2000, Swinging Swappers, The Child, A Man Could Get Killed, Up, Mustang, Night of The Lepus, Locker Room Girls and more!

Just the thing to turn your music player into a simulation of some kind of crappy retro radio station!

PS. I also fixed the bad HTL on the last post. Sorry 'bout that chief!

Where have I been?
What have I been doing?
Well not blogging, that's for sure!
Maybe this will explain....

Brian Eno - Needle in the Camel's Eye

Those who know
They don't let it show
They just give you one long life
And you go, oh oh, oh oh

Goes to show
How winds blow
The weather's fine
And I feel so so-so, so

Birds of prey
With too much to say
Oh what could be my destiny
Another rainy day

Why ask why?
For by the by and by
All mysteries are just more
Needles in the camel's eye

Those who know
They don't let it show
They just give you one long life
And you go, oh oh, oh oh

Why ask why?
For by the by and by
All mysteries are just more
Needles in the camel's eye.

On the other hand, that may explain nothing at all.....

And in other news -

Psycho 21

The weather's fine and I feel so so-so.....

Art is always informed by, influenced by, and ultimately springs from the environment that creates it. New York in the early 70's was a pretty crazy place... if you don't believe me, get a hold of a copy of "Taxi Driver" and watch it again, viewing the crowd shots and street scenes of Times Square, 42nd St. and such as historical documentary footage. With that in mind (not to mention the political upheaval going on in America at that time) It's easier to understand why the Skywald books were as extreme and nihilistic they were....

Nightmare 17

Remember.... it's ONLY a comic-book.... it's ONLY a comic-book.... it's ONLY a comic-book....
