Customer Reviews

One of my favorite DC comic series.

I absolutely loved this series. How much? Even though I have all the original issues, I still bought the book. This is my favorite Jack Kirby 1970's work, even beating out his Fourth World titles, and that's saying a lot! The series has a deliberate Universal Monsters vibe to it. The book also contains a great story from Brave & The Bold by Bob Haney and Jim Aparo that reminds me of the Kolchak: The Night Stalker TV series. I'm really happy I got this! Highly recommended!
