This compilation is rollicking good fun. The art on the first story drives me crazy...it's not til page 21 that we finally get a close enough shot to confirm that Nick is the dark-haired guy and not the Flash Gordon blonde. Even so Bill seems to get more screen time than Nick. Nice to see some racial diversity in the radio operator, Inky, though he never seems to have anything to say. Nick, for his part, "grunts" much of his dialogue. Smith's art is great!
