I shudder at how bad my pictures are in this review! I have learned some techniques since then. <br /><br />One gripe that I have now which I unaware of when I wrote this review is that the original color palette is completely disregarded. Check out some scans of the original comic books online, you will be aghast at the carnage done to these classics.

Here's why: All the "team" stories in All-Star featured a brief set-up chapter, then individual stories featuring each character, usually drawn by their regular artist, and then an even briefer (often one page) denouement featuring the whole team. <br /><br />so if you're a fan of any of the solo JSA members, it's worth picking the books up, in my view. Volumes 6-8 are excellent as well, they don't feature the Spectre, but they do contain some of the best issues of All-Star Comics of the entire run, really hitting their stride by volume 8. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03083693577275005135noreply@blogger.com
