Poe 1967, Pt. 5

(Continued from Poe 1967, Pt. 4)

ALBUM CLASSICOS DE TERROR  3
"A MASCARA DA MORTE RUBRA!"

     (IN COLOR  w/ English Translation)
          REMASTERED

Editora Continental / Outubro / Taika were 3 names used by the same small publisher in Brazil.  The work of artists Jayme Cortez & Miguel Penteado, they produced some wonderful comics, many of them in the horror genre, each doing many gorgeous, stunning cover paintings!

I have discovered, between my own researches and the IMMENSE help of artist and fellow fan Toni Rodrigues, that Continental / Outubro / Taika during their run produced at least 25 POE adaptations-- MORE than Skywald or Warren !!  It's my intention to compile, clean up, TRANSLATE and COLOR every one of these for my POE blog project!!

10th in line, another version of that popular favorite...
     "THE MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH".

     This was the 8th comics version of this story, following...
Marvel's ADVENTURES INTO WEIRD WORLDS #4 (Spring'52),  
Charlton's THE THING #2 (Apr'52), 
Continental's CLASSICOS DE TERROR #9 (1960),  
Marvel's STRANGE TALES #83 (Apr'61),  
Dell's THE MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH Movie Classic (Aug-Oct'64), and
Warren's EERIE #12 (Nov'67), 
     ...the last one around the SAME time!

As of June 2016, I discovered that ALBUM CLASSICOS DE TERROR #3 had  
3 POE stories--  "HOP FROG", "THE MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH", and "MANUSCRIPT FOUND IN A BOTTLE", plus the poem, "SILENCE".

The art this time is by Nico Rosso, one of the most prolific comics artists in Brazil, responsible for a multitude of interior stories, but perhaps best known as "the" DRACULA artist in the 1960s. He also did an enormous number of fully-color painted covers.

This was his 1st of 4 POE stories.

The scans I initially found for this story were from the all-reprint ALMANAQUE CLASSICOS DE TERROR #15 (1973), which had been posted online at the Quadri Brasil blog.  However, on 12-23-2018, I acquired my own copy of the original comic!  I decided to re-process the entire story, since the new high-res scans were not only from a better source, but also more than twice the size of the earlier ones.  The remastering job was completed on 6-27-2019.

ENJOY!
