Thanks for the 'consistently' good posts Joe- well appreciated.; 22 December 2008 08:06
vollsticks said...: Amazing expressionist-type line work (but the story-telling's a bit jumbled in places). Sienkiewicz is almost restrained here and I think it brings out the best in his art. Thanks so much for posting.; 5 December 2010 16:13

jlroberson said...: If he seems restrained, it's because this is the transition point from where he was with MOON KNIGHT & NEW MUTANTS(having already transitioned to inky expressionism at that point from Neal Adams Clone) to the much more radical painterly work we know him better for. You can see in his sketchbooks then a lot of clues to that. If you look at this and pay attention to the shapes, designs, images, and then look at, say, STRAY TOASTERS, it becomes more apparent.; 13 December 2010 03:24

Maybe I was too kind.

Aniway, thanks for the memories.; 24 December 2010 08:04

Phaota said...: Thanks for sharing this classic, though it would have been better to just share a rar files with all of the images.; 24 December 2010 12:53
joe bloke said...: Both Phaota & Anonymous, if you look online, you'll find a rar file easily enough, that's how I got it, but it's a cbr file, not a PDF.; 24 December 2010 16:49
joe bloke said...: Aratuk: thanks so much for the effort, chum, but I really CAN'T host or supply links to comics hosted on file-sharing sites. I reckon I'm pushing the limits as to what I can or can't get away with about as far as I can with the Street, and I think supplying links to file-sharing sites might just be that little step too far. once again, thanks for the effort, but, as I said in the previous comment, if anyone really wants it they've only got to search for it, it's not that hard to find. cheers, mate!; 31 December 2010 16:38
