I do not have it in front of me but I recall it says Vampirella #49 which is the issue this story was published.
An original comic art page from the adaptation of “The Oblong Box” by Edgar Allan Poe, as featured in Vampirella #49 (March 1976). Scripted by Rich Margopoulos and illustrated by Isidro Mones, this piece brings Poe’s chilling maritime tale vividly to life, centering on a mysterious passenger and his ominous cargo aboard an ill-fated voyage.
Executed in ink and ink wash over graphite on Bristol board, the artwork showcases Mones’ masterful use of shadow, tone, and atmosphere—hallmarks of Warren Publishing’s distinctive horror aesthetic of the 1970s. The image area measures approximately 10.5 x 15 inches.
The piece remains in excellent condition, exhibiting only minor, age-appropriate toning.
Yes, the original story was Crumb and was published in Weirdo #17. If I could get Crumb to recreate this I would have but this was my only other option.
Gary, thank you for selling this recreation to me. I had this issue as a boy and devoured every page as a boy.
Amazing piece! How can this be so knew and yet look so classic? Love it
I liked this so much that I went over to Otis Frampton's blog and got my own Cool Rider. I will post soon in gallery.
I am a huge Lon Chaney Sr fan so when I saw this piece I was simply blown away. LOVE IT!
