Shades of Gray: "Satan's Sanctuary" by Aragones, Wein, and Morrow

Howdy, Groove-ophiles! One thing about editor Joe Orlando--if he had to run a filler, then by gum he'd make it a good'un! The El Diablo short-short from All-Star Western #11 (February 1972), "Satan's Sanctuary" ran only four pages--but dig that ca-razee pedigree:! Story by Sergio Aragones and Len Wein, art by Gray Morrow. Dig it!

Oh, Alfredo! "The Fury of the Haunted Horseman" by Bates and Alcala

Hey, hey, hey, Groove-ophiles! Ol' Groove's been diggin' the recent El Diablo back-ups in DCnU's All-Star Western (especially the Jordi Bernett art!), so I thought it'd be kinda cool to exhume a Groovy Age El Diablo tale. Make that a special El Diablo tale; one that sports the awesome artistry of...Alfredo Alcala! (Who else?) Does that grab ya or what? Yeah, that's what I thought! Here's Alfredo teaming with author Cary Bates in Weird Western Tales #19 (June 1973) for..."The Fury of the Haunted Horseman"!

Admiring Adams: "Night of the Living Dead!" by Bates and Adams

Short and sweet, Groove-ophiles: Neal Adams illustrating a Cary Bates scripted El Diablo tale from Weird Western Tales #13 (May 1972). Are you ready for the..."Night of the Living Dead!"?

Was that awesome, or what? Neal's the real deal!!
