Reading Room WOLFF "Daughter of the Witch"

When Last We Left Our Post-Apocalyptic Barbarian...

...that pretty much covers it!
Carry on...

This never-seen-in-America chapter of the Wolff saga from New England Library's Dracula #8 (1972), by Luis Gaska (aka Sadko) and Estaban Maroto takes us into uncharted territory!
What is "worse to come"?
We'll find out...soon!

Reading Room: WOLFF "Mother of Waters"

At last, the never-seen (in America) continuation of the saga of Wolff...

...as our post-apocalyptic barbarian and Galadra meet...guess who?

This tale from New England Library's Dracula #7 (1972), by Luis Gaska (aka Sadko) and Estaban Maroto takes a tragic turn.

But, it also sets up a major change in the storyline, as we'll see in the near-future!

Don't miss it!

Reading Room: WOLFF "Manuscript of Rep-Tah"

When Last We Looked In on Our Post-Apocalyptic Barbarian...

...rescued from wolves by a woman who calls herself Galadra, Wolff joins her on a quest...

From New England Library's Dracula #6 (1972), the Luis Gaska (aka Sadko) & Estaban Maroto series just gets weirder and even somewhat psychedelic!

It also looks like somebody lost track of who's who!

Galadra looks remarkably like Rulah, who enchanted Wolff, turning him into a werewolf!

Was it a translation error? 

(The original version of this story was in Spanish!)

Note: this tale concludes the six Wolff stories included in Warren's Dracula TPB.

The remainder of the tales were never published in America, but we'll be presenting them over the next few weeks.

BTW, here's the cover to the issue by Enrique Torres (aka Enrich) using horror icon Barbara Steele as Rulah/Galandra!

Reading Room: WOLFF "Lady of the Wolves"

When Last We Left Our Post-Apocalyptic Barbarian...

...he had been cursed to become a literal version of his name...a lycanthrope!

Is Wolff fated to repeat this nightmare whenever the Moon is full?

Or is there a way to defeat the curse?

While this chapter of the Wolff saga, written by Luis Gasca (aka Sadko) & Estaban Maroto and illustrated by Maroto from New English Library's Dracula #5 (1972) leaves us hanging, the next chapter will offer an answer...though it might not be one Wolff likes!

Yeah, we know we said it before, but it bears repeating!

Esteban Maroto rendered this tale, co-written by Luis "Sadko" Gaska, from New England Library's Dracula #3 (1971) with his usual superb storytelling and masterful linework.

Not sure who colored it, though..

Is it just me, or does the Sorceress of the Red Mist remind you of our previous Wednesday Worlds of Wonder feature, the sexy space heroine Agar-Agar, who was also published in the Dracula anthology magazine (and was also written by Wolff co-scripter Luis Gasca under the pen-name "Sadko")?

Or was that eye-makeup thing just a European fashion trend in the early 1970s?

Reading Room: WOLFF "Path of the Dead"

Welcome to one of the best "barbarian in a post-apocalyptic future Earth" strips...

...as we present the saga of Wolff!

Written by Luis Gasca (under the pen-name "Sadko") & Esteban Maroto, illustrated by Maroto.

Published in England in Dracula (1971), a 12-issue partworks magazine* by New English Library, the first 6 tales made their American debut in Warren Publishing's HTF Dracula TPB in 1972 which reprinted #1-#6 of the British Dracula's run.

The remaining tales from #7-#12 have never been published in the US.
We'll be running the complete Wolff strip (including the never-seen in US stories)!

Watch for it!

*Partworks magazines are a limited series issued from weekly, fortnightly, or monthly.They usually run 12-24 issues for each volume.When the final issue in a volume is published, the publishers offer a wraparound cover to make the complete set into a hardbound book. The buyer is offered the option to bind the magazines themselves or send the set to the publisher who professionally-binds the mags and sends the bound volume back to the customer.This concept is extremely popular in Europe, but has never caught on in America, despite numerous attempts.
