About the illustration

I modified this from the original more than I usually do and I don’t think I did a half bad job. I really liked this image, it almost looks like it should be on a social distortion album.

About Howard Nostrand

Howard Nostrand (1929-1984) was a prominent American comic book artist best known for his work during the Golden Age of Comics.

Nostrand worked with various publishers, including Harvey Comics, where he made significant contributions to titles such as “Chamber of Chills” and “Black Cat Mystery.” His style was heavily influenced by the legendary artist Jack Davis, and Nostrand was known for his ability to create suspenseful and visually striking narratives.
