| The Cover is the best part, The inside art does not come anywhere close in quality. The 1st story's art in particular is really bad. Character's drawn VERY ugly. It looks more appropriate for some kind of hard boiled crime story. The rest of the art is okay-ish. |
|
| The first story is by Lee Elias, who was heavily influenced by Milton Caniff (and even worked on "Terry and the Pirates" in newspapers and comic books). This style does tend to make people look sour-faced, I will admit. |
