Poe 1967, Pt. 9

(Continued from Poe 1967, Pt. 8A)

ALBUM CLASSICOS DE TERROR  4
"O BARRIL DO AMONTILLADO"
     (IN COLOR  w/ English Translation) 

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!!

13th in line...

     "THE CASK OF AMONTILLADO"

     This was the 6th comics version of this story, following...
EC's CRIME SUSPENSTORIES #3 (Feb-Mar'51),
Gilberton's CLASSICS ILLUSTRATED #84 (Jun'51),
Editora Continental's CLASSICOS DE TERROR #1 (1960),
Dell's Movie Classic TALES OF TERROR (Feb'63), and  
Warren's CREEPY #6 (Dec'65),
     ...the last one some 2 years earlier!

The version borrows heavily from the previous one by Archie Goodwin & Reed Crandall, in both the dining table scene, and the epilogue that does NOT allow the criminal to get away with murder!  As a result, I was inspired to use some of Goodwin's dialogue VERBATIM.

The artist here is Osvaldo Talo.  His style is a bit simpler than many of the Brazillian cartoonists whose work I've discovered of late, but he seems to have done more Poe adaptations than any of the others!  He's become a real favorite of mine.  His style really lends itself to COLOR.

This is his 3rd of 5 POE adaptations.

I have no idea why Dracula is on the cover os this book...
