+ Super Reader
+ don't buy this book ???
The one substantive complaint about these reprints of the "Conan the Barbarian" comic books that Dark Horse has been reprinting as a prelude to launching their own version of Robert E. Howard's brawling barbarian has been that the original covers drawn by Barry Windsor-Smith for Marvel Comics have ...

Corto Maltese3 reviews
Hugo Pratt
Gallimard Education, 1998
Don't call it a comic book!
+ Rime of the modern mariner
+ Hemingway-esque Black & White Comic-book Adventures
Complex characters, lush atmosphere and subtle plots give the Corto Maltese books far more heft than other "graphic novels." Set during World War I, they tell the adventures of a freebooter and adventurer. Want to know what the Amazon is really like?
