RECOMMENDED READING: YESTERDAY'S MEN OF TOMORROW - TODAY!

A good friend gave me a present of the above volume the

other day, and I'd be remiss in my responsibilities as a blogger of

comics-related publications if I didn't heartily recommend it to you.

Simply stated, it's an absolutely thrilling read that I could barely put

down (read it in two sittings), and if you haven't already made the ac-

quaintance of this titanic tale, you need to run straight round to your

nearest FORBIDDEN PLANET store (or close facsimile) and

plonk your pounds on the counter in exchange for a copy.

CHRIS WESTON's art is how comics should be drawn, and

MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI's story is compelling and entertain-

ing in equal measure.  Honestly - this is among the best - if not the

best - collected edition of relatively recent material that I've read in

a long time.  You must, you need to, add this superb contempor-

ary comics classic to your collection immediately.  Should you

currently be bereft of funds, sell your wife, your children, or

even hawk your mutton for the dosh to buy this book.

Believe me, are you in for a treat!
