I pick up my copy every now and again and read it.

I was NEVER disappointed with it. I found the art surprising and nicely wonky, especially when compared to other comics of the time.

Could McCloud do better today? Of course he could. But it was a fine first effort, and certainly nothing to be ashamed of.

Further, the story was wonderful. McCloud doesn’t repeat himself when he goes to create something, and this was no exception. I had a blast with it. I wish it were still in print so that I could get copies for some of my friends.

I think what we’ve got here is a good $5 annual. I certainly enjoyed it at the time. Share your copy with kids!

It’s not fiction, but still.

Chris, you and me both, chum.

(Though I can’t believe it’s been eight years since it came out — this blog seems intent on finding new ways to make me feel old…)

When I got over being miffed at how much it cost, I regarded it as a failed attempt to do something different, and figured he’d get it right eventually.

Unfortunately, I’m still waiting…

There’s a certain charm to it that’s always appealled to me. I must have missed all the negative press or comments.
