This harkened back to EC Comics "Vault of Horror" stories drawn by Johnny Craig or Russ Heath. Very much similar to the Gaines & Kurtzman thought pieces that were text heavy around very detailed B&W art. I wish I had saved the Eclipse version in my collection.
I remember. As a longtime fan of I AM LEGEND (and all of Matheson's work) I was thrilled by the ECLIPSE comic book series. It had to be in Black & White. It was the only way this story could be faithfully told.
“I Am A Legend” definitely would have been a lead balloon of a title. Could “I Am Legendary” have been a functional compromise with the grammar-botherers? It doesn’t fall as flat as the first, though maybe sounds more like a late Sword & Sandals/Sorcery pastiche.

Matheson to the editors: "I keep telling you, he is not "a" legend. He is legend-MYTH!"

Don't forget that the cross did not work on his Jewish friend, but a Star of David did.
