Art by Sam Glansman from Kona #1, 1962.
↓ TranscriptSCENE: Human skeletons and giant eggs are at the bottom of a rocky cliff. A man is falling from the cliff and on the ledge of the cliff we can see the silhouette of a giant rabbit.
CAPTION: After Easter, have you ever wondered...where the Easter Bunny goes? Some say he has a hidden lair filled with giant, magical eggs that grant wishes! Impossible? Perhaps. But this much we know. Many have searched for the Bunny’s Lair. But none have ever returned--alive!
1962 Art: Sam Glanzman Art Changes: John Lustig

There’s no original art this time because the comic uses several different pieces of art for this Last Kiss. But multi-talented Mike Pascale’s bunny art was the most crucial piece.
Thanks, Mike!

Happy Valentine’s Day!
Few pieces of Last Kiss art have been used as much—and have evolved as much—as the art in today’s comic. Many thanks to my pal Mike Pascale for continuing to find new ways to tweak and transform this vintage panel.
