| Four tales of revenge from Robert Bernstein have a distinctly Old Testament feel to them - no sign or hope of atonement and redemption in sight.
Beautiful artwork from all those involved.
Gloria Kane is too great a name to be written off in a bit part - she should be the heroine of her own series - how about a 50s film starlet who also works as a private eye, played by Allison Hayes? |

| Frank Giacoia and Sol Brodsky are well-known names from 60's Marvel, but you rarely saw their penciling, aa Giacoia was an inker then and Brodsky was in production behind the scenes. So it's interesting here to see their drawing. |
