from Heavy Metal magazine, January 1980
A classic from the Old School days of HM.....it does more with its 7 pages than entire comic books do with 22 pages, nowadays. Note the use of the external narration to inform the reader what is taking place, and the care with which the dialogue is used in a sparing manner in order to advance the story. These skills are sorely lacking in many contemporary comic books, where external narration is regarded as aiding and abetting the sin of 'telling rather than showing'.......
Awesome post. Thanks for bringing these hidden gems to my attention!
