Etranges Aventures #2
"Le masque arraché" delivers a striking blend of surrealism and introspection in this 1966 issue of Etranges Aventures, where Doug Douglas's brief turn as a stage actor takes a terrifying turn when the Green Glob transforms him into the very monster costume he once wore. Written by Dave Wood and brought to life with bold, expressive art by George Roussos—both inks and pencils—this story explores identity and ambition through a haunting, dreamlike lens. The cover by George Roussos captures the eerie transformation with a chilling precision that perfectly sets the tone for the issue’s unsettling yet thoughtful journey.
