AGAR-AGAR "Harem of Bacchus"

So just sit back, get mellow, and enjoy!

AGAR-AGAR "Village in the Sea"

After a slew of Golden Age stories, let's jump 30 years into the Bronze Age...

That's heavy, man.
Pollution is, like, universal, man.
But, like, the Magic of Love can defeat it...

AGAR-AGAR "Rendevous with Aquarius"

We've done a lot of Golden Age stories, now let's leap into the Bronze Age...
...and the psychedelic world of Agar-Agar, the wildest space-heroine since Barbarella!
"This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius...Age of Aquarius..."
Oops, sorry, got carried away there for a second.
This surreal mini-series had a half-dozen installments, each one weirder than the previous.
Illustrated in a Peter Max-esque style by Alberto Solsona.
Written by Luis Gasca under the pen-name Sadko (which he also used as the scripter on Wolff, another strip in Dracula, illustrated by Estaban Maroto, which we'll be running in Hero Histories™).
Published in England as part of Dracula (1971), a 12-issue partworks by New English Library, the first 3 tales made their American debut in Warren Publishing's Dracula TPB which reprinted #1-#6 of the British Dracula's run.
The remaining 3 stories have been unseen by American audiences, but will be posted here over the next few months.
