The collection itself does have text pieces (intros/forewards/afterwords) by all the major players: Blevins, Michelinie, Ridgway. Even professional fan Brandon Graham gets a word and pinup in amongst all the others. Some of Blevins' sketch & prepwork is included, and all six series covers are given full-page treatment. The reproduction of the art itself is strong given the age of the series. The book uses a glossy white paper stock that gives Petra Scotese's colors a nice boost. There are a few pages where some of the finer lines or text lettering are a little soft, but I'm sure that's just a byproduct of using source materials over 30 years old. All in all, kudos to Dover for picking this series out of obscurity and giving it a nice presentation at a reasonable $20 pricetag. Read Full Review
I'm not really sure how to recommend this book to people. I guess, if you like genre-blending, fun, introspective stories, then pick it up. But if you are only a reader of a certain genre or style, this is going to be quite an experience for you anyways. I sure know it was an experience for me. Read Full Review
