61. SPIRITS OF THE DEAD PAPERBACK EDITION (Dark Horse) Hoopla
I'm slowly familiarizing myself with Richard Corben's comics work. These are all adaptations of Edgar Allan Poe stories and his work brings out the best in Corben. There's rotting corpses, necrophilia, voluptuous women, wonderfully exaggerated faces, and hideously distorted bodies. I particularly liked "The Raven" adaptation. The art starts out very slick and semi-realistic and gets more and more exaggerated as the main character descends into madness.
