Arrgh! #2
In "Gerald's World," Bill Everett crafts a delightfully offbeat horror-comedy where Frank N. Stein and his nervous assistant Quasamatter stumble into a bizarre scheme involving brainless corpses and a monster that’s more scared of Quasamatter than the other way around. With Everett handling every aspect of the interior art and lettering, and Marie Severin’s iconic cover bringing the madness to life, this 1975 Marvel oddity is a quirky, character-driven tale of mistaken identities and unlikely friendships.
