"Day of the Red Death" - Don Heck Art!

Nice to see Stan the Man introducing this next tale of reddish death! Artwork here is by Don Heck, who will forever be for me the quintessential Iron Man artist. "The Day of the Red Death!" comes from Marvel's Chamber of Darkness No. 2, December 1969.

  1. Thomas could always be depended on to come up with good updates to older material. It's certainly a bit preachy (even though I agree with it) and the "only 20 miles" ending kind of blunted it, but it's still a entertaining update to a well known and well read story.

    How many times did Stan have Heck re-do the art until his character was basically perfect looking? :)

  2. Thanks for all your comments, Brian! I thought this story almost looked like a Buscema layout.
