Gwandanaland Comics #2488

Gwandanaland Comics #2488 collects the Skywald horror stories of artist Zesar Lopez, and the cover gives you an immediate sense of the unsettling territory inside — panels of cackling figures, a looming skull, menacing dialogue about dolls and fire, and bodies sprawled amid chaos fill every inch of this black-and-white page. Lopez's detailed linework, showcased here in reproduced comic panels, delivers the kind of grim, pulpy atmosphere that made Skywald's horror line so distinctive. A great 2019 showcase for fans of vintage black-and-white horror comics who want to explore one artist's contribution to the genre in depth.
