Thanks to jayembee for the updates on some of my old favorites.... the steranko ca's are some of the most treasured books in my collectio.... but i would like to ask some more questions.... yes Will Eisner is still alive, and i think he is even doing some more Spirit, but what has joe kubert been doing lately???? i thought that he had turned pretty much to his school..... ever read the manhunter saga???? comes with my highest recommendations for a comic book..... great work by goodwin and simi simonson.... what brought that on was the talkes of will eisner.... there is a story in the back of the saga by goodwin, telling how they won the best short story award for a plot-line that they stole from eisner..... and eisner was the one who handed out the award..... just a comment about an old review.... i think the machine man limited series was great..... i was over-joyed to see smith work again gracing the page... the story was a bit anti-climactic, but for art like that, who cares.... i liked the bit about arno stark.... my one complaint was that it was too dark.... but i have to admit that smith has a way with colors that few people have..... water -colors are supposed to be his specialty........
