Allan has IronHide Tom, Black Coat, Horrorwood, Koni Waves, X Liberty Girl, Big Max, The done a fine job of it though, especially in the design of Phantom, Narwain, and Isle, Jack the Lantern, BPRD, Stykman. From the title you might expect a crudely drawn Sigma 6, Casanova, Polly & the Pirates Witchblade book, but it's not. Allan's art is detailed and professional. It just happens to depict a superhero made of wood in the shape • Previews and of a stick figure.

I bought this one • Bounty Killer, Polly George Gladir and Stan partly because the premise is so absurd that it needed and the Pirates, and Goldberg checking out, but mostly because Chris Moreno is involved and that dude is funny. There are four stories in this issue, each The Line completely silent, each featuring a monkey in a wagon going Tales of adventure up against a lemur in a big wheel. Sometimes it's at the pig races, sometimes it's on pirate ships, sometimes it's at the • Marvel Knights http://www.comicworldnews.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi?column=pulllist&page=30 (1 of 6)9/10/06 10:52 PM.
