Ain't spending the money on Marvel's overpriced collections, though. Great stuff that should never have been tampered with by later creators.hobbyfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089664500077967952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-2917036834108684482018-07-16T06:18:57.197-04:002018-07-16T06:18:57.197-04:00Your right very nice layouts, that's one of th...Your right very nice layouts, that's one of the things you can't really appreciate as a child but as you get older and have read the same comic over and over you start to pick up on other subtle things.tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17727615989263081800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-58783224242932462142018-07-16T05:01:27.422-04:002018-07-16T05:01:27.422-04:00At last we have arrived at true quality for the De...At last we have arrived at true quality for the Deathlok title. What was hinted at in the first few issues of Astonishing Tales featuring Deathlok has come to fruition after stumbles of missed deadlines, artistic mishmash and general lack of direction. Mantlo, Buckler and Janson hit the ground running and don't stop for another 2 issues. I've said it before and it bears repeating, I consider AS # 33 the single best inked comic of all time (which is saying alot for me since I consider Tom Palmer the entire pantheon of the gods of Mt. Olympus). Then Mr. Janson doubles down by complementing his inks with superb coloring. Pages such as 2, 3, 9, 10 and 11 still burst forth with all their beauty 33 years later. It's comics like this that are the reason I collect them. I can reread them over and over again still in awe and wonderment as if it were the first time I was picking them up.
