These
two issues (in particular the second), are worth the hunt it will take
to find them. The first features a Tiger-Man story
(a prequel to the series) and several other stories which would have
been at home in any Warren title of the time. The first issue includes
a beautiful Frank Thorne-illustrated version of "Lawrence of Arabia" and
a really tacky, Warren-looking article on the films of Alistair Maclean.
The
second issue is probably one of the all-time gems of black and white
publishing. Starting with the Neal Adams cover (obscured Warren-style
with vapid copy), the issue contains an Archie Goodwin/Walter Simonson
samuari story (circa the Manhunter work) and additional pieces by Jack
Sparling, Russ Heath, John Severin... and Alex Toth! It also includes
a Warren-like article on the Towering Inferno. |
