| I think Famous Funnies is really starting to emerge as one of my favorite funnies style comics,really clear crisp upload makes this a very enjoyable, very engrossing read. Wide diversity of artistic styles like the intense artwork of Paul Powell on Eagle Scout Roy Powers and War on Crime by Rex Collier.The cute and humurous Napoleon and Big Chief Wahoo, and the always amazeing Oaky Doaks, Plus numorous,fun special Features. Yes I think this one's a winner. |
