I've always "Marveled" at the fact that really cheap, smeary interior printing – a few cuts below the standard comic color printing of just a few years earlier – is all Marvel and the other majors seemed capable of producing at the time. I think it may be because their printers had gone to plastic plates, but the printing is a mess. I remember that during this time, it was hard to commit to local comic shops' relatively new practice of holding a select group of comics for you (whereby, in effect, you could subscribe without subscribing), because you knew you HAD to go looking through a stack of the same book to find the one least smeared, with the least pasty gray blacks, and the least off register color. Sometimes, you had to move on to a second shop to find a keeper from a different part of the print run.

Done in color (!!!!!!!) and I am torn as to which version I like better since up to this point I was only aware of and only read the black and white paperback version pictured at the start of this post. I am still dumbstruck as to the high level of quality the master put on display here which at the time I read it I was enthralled but still did not know of how great his art really was, until I later compared it to other contemporary comic artists of his time. His artwork is on a level that only certain artists such as Neal Adams and Al Williamson to name a couple that ARE on his level were able to achieve.

I had a copy in the mid-70s, I got it at my school's annual book fair when I was in the 2nd grade. Would've been 1976. Not sure why I remember that specifically, but I do. In my memories, only the cover was in color and the pages were all just black ink on white paper. But these are definitely the same illustations. Was never aware of the name Alex Nino before, but I love his stuff.
