Poe 1970, Pt. 8

(Continued from Poe 1970, Pt. 7)

DOSSIER NEGRO  17
"EL GATO NEGRO"
     (IN COLOR  w/ English Translation  /  Part 2)

Ibero Mundial De Ediciones was the work of publisher & editor José María Arman Corbera, located in Barcelona, Spain, from 1959 to 1978.  In their time they did romance, comedy, horror & science-fiction.

DOSSIER NEGRO was a B&W horror anthology in the style of Warren's CREEPY and others, which began in 1968.


Among its contents were at least 3 Poe adaptations.  Second up:

     "THE BLACK CAT"

The art is by Miguel Gomez Esteban.  This was his 2nd of 2 POE stories.

Sometimes it's tricky to decide where to break a story up into 2 or 3 parts. 
I usually try to find a spot where it feels like a natural "break" between chapters. 
I think I did alright this time.

I ran across a horrific problem on 8 of the 35 story pages, in which a 2nd image was printed in gray.  It took an insane amount of time & effort to tediously REMOVE all traces of this in Photoshop!  Thanks to Clint Morgan at the EC Fan-Addict Club FB group, this phenomena known as "gas ghosting" was brought to my attention. Here's an article that describes it:
What is Gas Ghosting in Offset Printing? (And How To Fix It).
