Mention of The Thing in a referenced article prompted me to check an issue at random. This one has a promising girl-in-a-green-dress cover and launches into Bob Forgione’s beautiful pencils and inks for Mardu’s Masterpiece. All artists seek to grasp the spark of life and capture it within their work – Mardu has found a distinctive way to do so – seems to work best with a red palette (hee! hee!) Mind-controlled killer robots take to the streets in Operation Massacre ready to destroy all before them. Can they be destroyed by the careless use of prepositional grammar? Read this and see! But what’s this – an advert on the back page for 10 free Hitler stamps (and this was aimed at kids?). To think this magazine was criticised for its lack of moral compass – go figure. Strange isn’t it – as an aside – how the left profile of a face always looks better than the right– but then we do live in a left-handed universe.
