| As I have said before,these code approved comics seem to have been aimed at the crowd who read the American Comics Group books.This one is pretty good,but kind of flat.The endings in particular could have been better,but still,sometimes it seemed like I was reading an ACG comic.I think some of the art may have been by ACG artists,but that is just speculation.I really liked the last story,but they should have made the result of the transformation more definite,maybe the Comics Code ordered alterations that made the story less clear,that happened in ACG comics at this time too.I would give this one two out of five stars,but I did enjoy it. |
