1968
Another childhood memory I got hold of.
A bit uneven, but some of it is quite good.
Foster was one of the Masters.
None above.
The magnificence goes on.
In the late 80s, Mignola collaborated on series such as the Phantom Stranger, Batman, Superman and Swamp Thing. Not as good as his later output, but interesting to behold.
Collects all five issues of Impact,first published 1955, with stories by Jack Davis, Jack kamen, Reed Crandall, George Evans, Bernie Kriegstein, Joe Orlando and Graham Ingels.
Great stuff.
I have read much of the EC output before,as much of it was translated to Norwegian in the 80s and 90s in the magazine ISKALDE GRØSS (Ice Cold Shivers). These Impact stories were new to me, though.
Ah. Am I correct in assuming, then, that the New Direction titles were generally not among the material translated? While MD and Psychoanalysis can be some rough sledding, Valor has some gorgeous artwork by the likes of Wood, Williamson, Crandall and the like.
I think it was mostly stories from Tales of the Crypt,Vault of Horror, Haunt of Fear,Weird Science, Crime SuspenStories and Shock SuspenStories.There could be more sources, not sure. Thanks for the recommendation.
This is all right, but not great.
Did you like the art, @Thunderfinger? Because I had issues with that in this book. Some facial expressions felt unpleasant to look at.
Yes, some very good compositions here and there, but Wagner is probably a better writer than artist.
I actually really enjoyed it. I feel that BVS should have been what it did (with other creative people in charge). I really need to reread it.
Got hold of a childhood memory, from 1971. The sentimental value is bigger than the artistic, for sure.
RIVER OF DEATH by Lawrence and Horak.
Fun reading this again. My favourite "continuation" Bond by far.
Of course not, but certainly bigger than Little Joe.
It's good to speak the same language on that, @Thunderfinger.
RIVER OF DEATH always looks interesting, since coming to see slivers of it here and on Bond-O-Rama.
TARZAN
Christmas album that came out in 1973. The quality isn t great, but fun seeing it again.
Only read a little bit of this before, in Heavy Metal where it went by the title The Adventures of John Difool. After all these decades it s about time, since I am a big fan of both Giraud and Jodorowsky. Best-selling graphic novel of all time and the most influential.
This is more like it. Very good.
A more realistic approach. This is also very good. Maybe the best yet.
This remains a tough one for me. No matter how much I love, adore, worship The Dark Knight Returns specifically, and Miller in general, I simply cannot plow through the utter narrative and artistic mess that is TDKSA. I am aware of certain facts, including how Miller wanted to shock us, how he was trying to cope with 9/11 during the process of writing, ... That knowledge doesn't help me, however, in finding any appreciation for the book. It's wild, it's crazy, it's outrageous, and even after three previous attempts, it remains nothing but that for me. I understand the story: it's very weak. I get the crazy art: I think it looks awful. There's a certain level of "all over the place" and "out there" that I can take (e.g. pretty much everything Morrison's done so far), and then there's this. The Dark Knight certainly did strike hard and heavy with this one, but I'm not a fan. Luckily, The Master Race is a lot better in my opinion.
Originally published 1981-1984 . Unfortunately, this is the coloured versions, reformatted for the traditional comic book format in the 90s. It doesn t look nowhere near as good.
