Round four. =)

***********************

The rules are simple: I'll post a small excerpt from a comic book cover. Each time I update, each player gets to ask one "yes or no" question ("Is this a Marvel or Fawcett comic?", "Was the comic published in or before 1990?", etc. - any question that can be answered with "yes" or "no") and make one guess as to both the name of the series and issue number of the comic. There's no set schedule for updates; I'll just update when I have time. First player to ten points wins the round.

And a note: the Grand Comic Database is an incredibly wonderful resource. =)

Wow, that was a toughie.

Fright Night #19, Now Comics, 1988 series.

And on an unrelated note, in my research I found a French series on GCD called Zara La Vampire, which features very nice, very NSFW covers. I'd never heard of it before, but now I must seek it out, to see if the interiors live up to the covers.

DANG IT. I saw that series on comic vine but the art on the example issue didn't look anything like the slice. I looked at way more weird covers than I realized existed hunting for that one. Nice find Clone Ranger. Zara caused me to pause a couple moments as well.
