| Fabulous Wally Wood-Joe Orlando art on the cover and the two Captain Science features -- even the panel design (note how the Captain's citadel becomes a caption panel) explodes with energy and imagination, and suddenly the Captain's female sidekick becomes smokin' hot. Then another fun feature with Brant Craig, an unlikely mashup of Flash Gordon and Sam Spade. And finally a surprisingly grim little horror-sci fi backup; note how the husband is ready to kill the wife and himself to escape the nightmare world. |
|
| Oh, and I forget to mention: gorgeous scan that enables you to enjoy all the detail packed into the Orlando-Wood art. |
|
| Wow, the detail and especially the layouts in this issue are great. The art feels so dynamic! |
