| Pathway to the Great Abyss...
One of the worst stories I have ever read. |
|
| I dunno...there's something to be said for a story featuring a giant flying piece of smiling doggie-doo. |
|
| On 'The Abyss' I was going to add the Coda ' The art isn't bad' Then I noticed that its credited to Lou Cameron. That accounts for the excellence in layouts - doggy do aside. But it definitely wasn't inked by Lou. and definitely not scripted by him either.
Cheers!
Oh and I like Rice's cover a lot. One of the most subtle horror comic covers I have ever seen. And very effective. |
