| Fantastic drawings, i remember that edition. |
|
| This is a classic, with brilliant drawings and colours. I thought for a moment that Bat Materson must be a Western interpretation of John Steed (of the Avengers, played by Patrick Macnee), before discovering that Materson was a real gunslinger from the Old West. And, like a lot of Dell comics, its based on a TV show too! |
