Très chouettes séries de planche....

Jolie planche surannée ! C'est quand même séduisant le foulard dans les cheveux !

Ah oui ! C'est très chouette ça avec une bien jolie composition !

C'est mignon ça

I like the smart clothes and faces on this page !

Yes, it does remind one of Charles Burns work, who was obviously heavily inspired in his style by the old school romance comics. But, of course, Burns wasn't born until 1955 and harkens back to this style of drawing. Someone else has suggested this might be Matt Baker. Maybe? I can't be 100 percent certain either but I'd put my money on this most likely being the work of Robert Hayward Webb. Looks a lot like him to me. Any other theories most welcome.

Verry Nice splash page from a charming romance comics!

C,est proche de Charles burns, dans love nest félicitations !!.

Second page is good too, whith a drama

Great opening page from an Unexpected Story!

The artwork here is really large. Not quite, but very nearly A2 size and it looks to me like it was drawn on CS10 paper. For those of you too young to know this, CS10 was a very 'tough' glossy paper that was so hard you could ink on it and then use a scalpel to scratch lines out over the inks. A bit like scratchboard only it was thin enough that you could lightbox through it as well which made it very popular for use by artists in the 80s pre-digital era. Alas, I'd give an arm and a leg for a pad of the stuff now but they just don't make it anymore!

I commissioned this from Alex only recently via his etsy store. 85 and still going strong.

First time I saw Ninos art was an amazing Conan strip called 'People of the Dark'. After that I was hooked. This guy was a superstar artist back in the seventies and one of the filipino '1st spears' that DC initially recruited. But then, somehow, he just seemed to disappear into the background radiation as all the new artists of the 80's with their grittier realism came to the fore. I think it a real crime that he's been all but forgotten.

Many thanks for adding the art of Alex Nino. That artist was missing a bit at this gallery.

Very powerful. It takes a while to see all the details and understand the art. Just great!
