Kamen excelled in drawing sleazeballs & beautiful chicks for EC. This time, however, he depicted a romance that`s -Choke!- almost sweet.Doc Briarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13457055611333836940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136311233296776036.post-48381067257199453752022-01-21T19:51:30.641-06:002022-01-21T19:51:30.641-06:00This one's actually quite adorable, a teeny ti...This one's actually quite adorable, a teeny tiny pinup model just literally sprouts out of this scientist's plant one day. The ending to this one is kind of sad yet happy at the same time. He went through all that to be with her for the rest of his life only for her to pass away in the fall. On the bright side, she'll be back in 10 years, but she only lives for one season. Why couldn't that plant be a perennial?Glowwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01621527075382017998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136311233296776036.post-11935763311362587022022-01-21T19:19:26.136-06:002022-01-21T19:19:26.136-06:00I thought the last two pages of this were superb--...I thought the last two pages of this were superb--especially the top of page six, with the spoon shovel and the pencil grave marker. For the record, I think sci-fi horror is my favorite kind. I mean, that's where you get mad scientists and theremin soundtracks and the weirdest possible lighting, right? Weird sci-fi romance? Well, that's just all of the above with a little cheesecake, besides.

I guess that's probably one of the great things about sci-fi stories.<br /><br />Kamen does a couple panel breaks here and there, I always enjoyed that from his work, and he uses it sparingly but to good effect.<br /><br />Brian Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15737535617796413548noreply@blogger.com
