hands down
It was almost no contest for our other characters, praised though
they were
by second choices (2nd was clearly NOSFERATU)
the votes ran 3 to 1 for the Gargoyles
over all other characters. This overwhelming reaction guarantees THE HUMAN GARGOYLES
as a regular every- single-issue feature in NIGHTMARE, beginning right NOW, in the issue
on sale next month: NIGHTMARE #23. A HUMAN GARGOYLES oil cover by Segrelles Is
now being completed, and we are working (we kid you not!) on HUMAN GARGOYLES TSHIRTS which we KNOW will be a sell-out item In THE LITTLE HORROR-MOOD SHOP OF
HORRORS. THE HUMAN GARGOYLES are further proof that INNOVATION is Ihe HORRORMOOD criteria and you can just BET we've got a THOUSAND plans for the Gargoyles,
