Poe 1976, Pt. 1

(Continued from Poe 1975, Pt.16)

CREEPY  76
"THE IMP OF THE PERVERSE"


Although a number of reprints (foreign & domestic) appeared, it was another 5 months before the next new POE story turned up after CREEPY's all-science-fiction issue.

The story this time is the relatively-obscure...

     "THE IMP OF THE PERVERSE".

     This was the 2nd comics version of this, after...
Taika's (unknown series and issue #) (1968)
     ...some 8 years earlier.

Art this time is by Luis Bermejo.  I remember him mostly as the original artist of the time-travelling adventure character, "The Rook".

This was his 2nd of 2 POE adaptations.

Continuing with the score...  this is the 22nd out of 26 Warren POE adaptations!!

Special thanks to Julio Machado for correctly identifying the cover artist.
