SKYWALD'S PSYCHO NO. 7 (PART 1)


The cover price gets bumped up a dime and "Archaic" Al Hewetson takes over the assistant editor's seat from Israel Walman. In this issue and he doesn't waste any time flooding it with his stories, including a text article. Hewetson and Pablo Marcos continue the never-ending story of the original Muckman, The Heap. Artist Domingo Álvarez contributes two stories and shows how good he is at accurately depicting actor's faces; I also noticed a swipe of a photo of Victoria Vetri (aka Angela Dorian) from -- if memory serves me right -- a PLAYBOY pictorial in the story, "Kerene". It wouldn't be long until readers see the full effect of Al Hewetson at Skywald.
