September 1974. For a brief period in the mid-1970s, Archie Comics branched out into "straight" horror comics under the Red Circle imprint, edited by Gray Morrow with consistently excellent art and decent (if often overly wordy) short horror stories. This story from MADHOUSE #95, drawn by Doug Wildey, features a British rock band called the Happy Dead, whose gimmick is pretending to be vampires. A girl named Linda has been following them around for a while, trying to convince her to let her try out for the band — which turns out rather differently than they expect. It's an entertaining twist, although it would probably work better if the band were more visually aligned with contemporary "shock rock" acts (e.g., Alice Cooper or KISS); Wildey draws them to look kind of like late-stage Beatles, which tends to obscure the satiric intent.

The Super Cops No. 1 from Red Circle Comics (part of Archie Comics), 1974. Cover by Gray Morrow. This was a one-off comic based on a movie which had in turn been based on a book about a couple of real NYPD officers (David Greenberg and Robert Hantz played by Ron Liebman and David Selby). I'm sure with a bit of creative licence involved. It's possibly one inspiration for the Starsky & Hutch TV show.

I've only ever seen the movie once on TV and it must have been in the late 70's/early 80's. I remember enjoying it at the time but not sure how it would stand up today.

Interestingly for UK comic fans one of the artists involved in this comic was Carlos Pino (below). I didn't realise he had also worked on US comics.
