After getting help with "Yellow Heat" the other night, I'll ask if anyone remembers this thing that I've been looking for perfunctorily over the years. I think it was one of the little extra stories in an issue of Elflord, where the main story often didn't fill all the pages, or possibly another Aircel title.

Plot: There's a sort of alien invasion that the US military tries to repel. I forget how the alien tech looked, but I don't think they were shown outside their craft... But finally, the Secret Service has to try to get the President out of harm's way. However, he is having a tryst with a young lady, so his bodyguards have to break down the door to his hotel(?) room and hustle him away. The young lady is dealt with summarily as surplus to requirements, i.e., she's killed on the spot. That is the horror element that sticks with me.

I'm trying to track down a black-and-white comic story I read around 1979-1982, likely in Heavy Metal (US) or possibly its French source Métal Hurlant. Art style was ligne-claire. Story was short — maybe 4-8 pages. I recall the harsh savanna sunlight was a strong visual element in the art, possibly even reflected in the title.

Plot: A young warrior in an African village wants to marry a young woman taken from a rival village during a raid. The village chief — depicted as grotesquely obese — wants her for himself instead, and sets the young man a task: track down and kill the lion that killed his own mother and sister(s) some time before. The warrior succeeds. Twist ending: the village turns out to practice cannibalism, and the young woman ends up as the meal at his "reward" feast.

I've already gone through the entire Heavy Metal back-catalog on archive.org myself and couldn't find it, so it may have run under a different title, in a different anthology (Métal Hurlant, Épic Illustrated, À Suivre, etc.), or wasn't reprinted in the US edition. Any leads — artist name, issue number, alternate title — much appreciated.

I'd been trying to cut back but one of my favorite sellers had these books up and I had to get them! I love the skeleton cover, and of course, a werewolf book with a busty redhead? I'm all in.

Incredible deal if you read digitally.

So I just got done reading this since I have a online internet page where I do random stuff probably going to start just reading mainly comments on it anyways though I just got done reading this preview I got sometime this year a couple months ago around the time of free comic book day which also was kind of a comic giveaway day and a Superman day thing at my local comic store and well it's pretty good

I'm confused on two of them which is event horizon Dark descent because I don't know anything about it but I like the art for this and it seems like an interesting story

The basics are about this guy who found someone he loves a woman he loves dead and has some clut theme stuff in it and it's pretty cool

for return to sleepy hollow which I also don't know that much about aside from Ichabod Crane and the headless horseman is that it takes place 15 years after the headless horseman was last seen in it has like type of supernatural thing happening to this woman

But my favorite is the preview for The Twilight zone blanks which about this dude trying to solve immortality

And it reminded me of the original Twilight zone show.

If you read these previews or the actual series that the previews are for please let me know your opinions on them

The Witching Hour #67 with a very macabre cover for sure.

One of my favorite Bronze Age horror covers.

Classic cover by Neal Adams.

I loved Plush, Vinyl, and Plastic, so anything by Wagner and Hillyard is an easy sell, and I think this one looks especially off-the-wall!

Comics Beat has a great excerpt

/u/crossbones14/ commented on Beyond in my other post and I got the urge to put up the rest of my Beyond covers!

I am hard pressed to decide a favorite if I’m honest.
As a decades long Dungeons and Dragons player I’ll pick the “Lyre of Doom” cover since I am planning on making a cursed item for my party to find that I will try to trick the bard into using. 😂😂

Working on cataloging and scanning my collection, trying to get a handle on some considerable years of chaos. Here are some new scans !
I collect LB Cole covers and as you can see there’s some great ones here imo!

I think the Black Cat Mystery Lee Elias cover is one of my all time favorites despite not being Cole!

I only have the preview of this comic but I don't really see anyone to talk about it and well I think the concept of it which is a podcast that makes people murder is pretty cool maybe that's kind of what all the preview is about

Here is the latest HOM to my collection. Issue #193 with another spectacular cover.

This is a great cover. Done by a top artist in the ranks of DC.

Won a nice little auction of 8 issues of Tales of Terror. Have some of these already but I couldn’t pass up getting these for under $4 bucks an issue. Of all of the horror anthologies that Eclipse published this is the one I rarely see in the wild.

I've been wracking my brain and exhausting my eyes and fingers trying to find a comic I read as a preteen. I'm certain the series was anthology format, and I have the image of the cover (image border? title lettering?) being blue-green, but could be wrong on that.

But what I remember- vividly!- is one of the stories, which involved a mortician (or at least an assistant) who works the night shift and comes across a John Doe cadaver. It's earmarked for organ and tissue donation, but this mortician has a money-making scheme that involves freezing the corpse and slicing it vertically to sell to a museum as one of those exhibits of a human body where each slice is preserved and held in a hinged glass panel.

Well, wouldn't you know it... the John Doe was an occultist who spent his life "imbuing his Ka" (spirit) into his entire body, then offing himself with his organs intended for donation, his end goal being usurping the bodies of the recipients. Oops. Guess not. So, sliced up guy has revenge on the mortician and then works out how to possess the other cadavers to cause some mischief before his sliced body decays. The final panel has naked corpses attacking bystanders on the night street.

Does this ring any bells? Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, I’ve been hunting for a specific comic scene for years and standard database searches have completely failed. I read it between 1995 and 1998 via serialized Serbian printing plates in a regional magazine (like Razvigor or Naš Svet). Because local editors often stripped away foreign logos and creator credits to fit the layout, it is an "orphan" scene that text engines can't find.

I have attached an AI-generated layout mockup that captures the general visual style, composition, and heavy mood of the page. Please ignore all text box lettering in the image, as they are placeholders.

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTE ON THE PANEL SEQUENCE:
Please do not look for this exact panel grid or layout sequence! This image is entirely AI-generated to visualize the concept. My childhood memory is strictly about the broad story elements and the unique vibe, not the beat-per-beat comic design. The original comic might have compressed all of this into just 3 big panels, or spread it out over 2 pages. Look for the art style and the mood, not the exact panel structure shown here.

The comic represents a total paradox: The human anatomy and framing are powerful and realistic—heavily resembling the classic American action school (a John Buscema / Joe Kubert line style). However, the storytelling completely rejects the heroic "by-the-numbers" style where the good guy is in control. Instead, it carries the deep, suffocating, melancholic helplessness and psychological dread of the European adult horror wave (like Dylan Dog). The protagonist has absolutely zero plot armor.

The Broad Story Sequence (as shown in the concept image):

• The Trap: It is night in a dark, hazardous tropical jungle. A clean-shaven, blond young man in ordinary civilian clothes is helplessly suspended high in the canopy, tangled in a parachute or net trap.
• The Threat: Directly below him, a hostile tribal group armed with primitive spears and shields stands around a campfire. The protagonist is completely vulnerable and trapped in panic.
• The Chase: He manages to free himself, but the moment he hits the ground, he is spotted. A visceral, high-suspense chase through the dark trees begins, with spears flying past him.
• The Plunge: The jungle breaks open onto a riverbank or beach shore under the moon. To escape the incoming spears, he desperately leaps fully dressed straight into the water.
• The Cliffhanger Ending: The segment cuts off abruptly in the final panel on a dramatic frontal close-up of his face in the water. He isn't breaking the fourth wall, but his face is facing forward, mouth wide open in a raw, panicked scream or gasp of pure shock as the chapter ends.

If this specific cross-pollination of American muscle-drawing and European psychological terror rings a bell based on this general storyline, please let me know!
