It wouldn’t be Halloween without at least one Last Kiss monster gag with my pal Mike Pascale. And we’ve got two this year. Wait’ll you see Friday’s vampire comic!
I think Mike came up with this zombie gag a year ago, but we couldn’t use it then. So I dusted it off for this year and made a few minor changes or—as I explained to Mike—huge, brilliant improvements. Then, of course, Mike improved my improvements. And then I…well, you get the idea.
As always, Mike’s “zombification” of the art is hilarious!
Inks by Dick Giordano from the story “Heartbreaker” in FIRST KISS #12, 1960.
