Gwandanaland Comics #497

This 2017 Gwandanaland Comics collection reprints classic Space Adventures material, presenting the spine-tingling "The Beast of Bardo" — and the cover by Rocco "Rocke" Mastroserio makes an immediate impression. A towering, horned crimson demon looms menacingly over a group of frightened humans on a stark alien world, a pale moon hanging in the darkened sky behind them. Mastroserio's dramatic composition captures that golden-age sense of cosmic dread perfectly, making this a compelling package for fans of vintage sci-fi and monster comics.
