Groove's Faves: "Eclipse" by Englehart, Rogers, and Colletta

Greetings, Groove-ophiles! Has Ol' Groove got a treat for you today! It's the second installment of Steve Englehart and Marshall Rogers' Mister Miracle revival from MM #20 (July 1977), "Eclipse"! Not only is this action-packed epic chock-full of wall-to-wall action (courtesy penciler Rogers and inker Vince Colletta), not only is it filled with nifty character bits (courtesy writer Englehart), but it has some of the coolest sound effects ever to grace a comicbook page (courtesy letterer John Workman, no doubt with input from Rogers). Listen up and check it out!

Mining for Gold(en): "Nightmare"

Here's a supernatural story that not only showcases Michael Golden's mastery of mood, but allows letterer supreme John Workman strut his stuff, as well. From an original poem by Miriam B. Campbell with "graphic continuity" by Roger McKenzie, here's "Nightmare" from House of Secrets #151 (January 1978). Oh, and just to show who loves ya, baby, Ol' Groove's included Golden's singularly stunning splash from that self-same issue!
