Cosmic Horror Thread

If you like Alberto Breccia, i strongly suggest to check Mort Cinder, its one of the best stuff he ever done, with the same writer of The Eternauta (H.G Oesterheld). The story of a immortal and his companion, a owner of an antiques shop called Ezra Winston. Each tale it's a story narrated by Mort Cinder to Ezra, taking back to different times and different tales. The last chapter was one of the main inspiration for Frank Miller to make the comic 300.

And i'm forgetting something important: the man who gave inspiration to the look of Mort Cinder was Horacio Lalia, once assistant of Breccia in the sixties, and a fine artist in her own, who also did Nekrodamus (once the profile picture of @secreto7 ) with Oesterheld and many adaptations of Lovecraft and worked for the U.K Market, in titles like Helltrekkers (with John Wagner and Alan Grant). Here's some examples of Lalia's work:

Wow! You have so much knowledge, friend!
It's really interesting. All these connections between artists and their works.
The last page is from Nekrodamus but on italian?

I think so, Nekrodamus was published both in the Skorpio magazine in Argentina and in the italian Skorpio, alongside Precinto 56 and other works by argentinian writers and artists. I met Lalia a couple of times, he signed me the classic Record volume with the first episodes (the one with the Ariel Olivetti's cover).
