| An excellent multi-part adventure story, with an interest framing device. Good art, too! |
|
| My randomly chosen comic today is the enticingly titled Slave Girl Comics – and my goodness, what a corker, with stunning art from Howard Larson.
The slave girl’s protector is called Garth – that’s going to ring some bells for British readers – and this is very much a Garthian tale of sword’n’sorcerous adventure! Above all though, this actually has a good plot, interesting characters and a decent teaser at the end – I will certainly be reading the next issue. I was most impressed. |
