We hope you’ve enjoyed revisiting Weird War Tales with us this month. We’ve posted many vignettes from this series over the past four years, and have now reached the end of our collection! We sold the last of them on eBay in 2014, but they live on in the digital archives of Mars Will Send No More.
Here are a few pages from Weird War Tales #25. Other than the wonderful cover, the stand-out of this issue is the rugged yet sumptuous artwork by Alfredo Alcala in the George Kashdan story, Black Magic-White Death! This issue also contained another fun Kashdan story called The Unseen Warriors with art by Alex Nino.
And that brings our Martian catalog of Weird War Tales to a close — unless of course you want to send us a box with more inside it!
I’ve enjoyed your showcasing this highly original title. Had a couple issues back in the 70’s when I was a kid, and they sure creeped me out! DC had some pretty good horror mags back then, Thanks, Mars!

Holy shit, pardon my French but that is an amazing art and not to say the cover page is gorgeous!

We discovered Alfredo Alcala thanks to his ink work on Swamp Thing, but it’s pretty cool to see this even older work from him in a different context. Great stuff.
