Fantastic but could really do with a new edition
4 žvaigždutės
I loved this but the edition that I read and is widely available features truly awful recolouring. It speaks to the insecurity of publishers that they think anything old needs to be "modernized" for the sake of commercial viability.
The beautiful, warm, sun soaked colours of the original are replaced with sterile, overly rendered colours that detract from Stevens' immaculate line art
His figures are incredible, his layouts are energetic. The character design is vivid. It's good pulpy fun.
The original publications aren't cheap to track down so I dunno, it's either the $200CAD artists' edition or scans ☠️ to get the best experience.
Even so, it's not like the IDW edition isn't enjoyable and it does include both arcs. Stevens left us far too soon.
