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.
