Wolverton 0

[adamstrange]

The coolest Wolverton reprint is Foopgoop Frolics which prints his art in a giant sized edition. It's mostly in b&w but that works perfectly for his stories!

 

And from whom did you get that? Huh? Huh?

 

I forget nothing...

 

... except faces... and names... and passwords... and stuff my wife said...

 

... but nothing to do with comics.

 

I'm so grateful!!!

Here's a "Wolverton cover" from WTOTF 4, consisting of art lifted from Wolverton's story "Nightmare World" from WTOTF3, and a "pasted girl," who, somehow, looks insufficiently upset. I wonder if the editor was misguidedly trying to add GGA appeal?

 

By the way, "Nifhtmare World" is arguably THE CLASSIC Wolverton horror story. It concerns a scientist who experiments on himself with hallucinogenic drugs and, after drinking an "acrid" liquid, experiences what can be accurately described as the ultimate "bad trip."

 

Talk about Basil being in his element!

And for Wolvie on a budget, don't forget to pick up a set of PLOP for the covers. Fairly high grade copies are still cheap.

Some of Basil Wolverton’s most interesting comic book art definitely came from Stanley Morse (Weird Tales of the Future, Mister Mystery, Weird Mysteries, etc.):

A couple of GA covers and one 70's cover thrown in for good measure:

This book has it all, enthralling info on his successes and failures with letters and documents, as well as quality reprints of all the horror stories with a healthy dose of humor work as well

cant recommend it enough
