REVIEW: Salvage
Salvage By Renée Nault 256 pages/Ten Speed Press/$19.99 (sc) Class conflict has powered countless speculative stories, and Salvage uses that familiar tension to frame a near-future romance with an ecological warning beneath the surface. That setup gives Nault plenty of visual and thematic promise, but the book never develops its social divide or ecological premise…

REVIEW: Dracula Has Risen from the Grave
The Hammer horror film revival was well underway by the time Dracula Has Risen from the Grave arrived in 1968. This was the fourth film starring Bram Stoker’s notorious vampire and the third with Christopher Lee wearing the fangs (he skipped the second one), and it is a mixed offering. On the one hand, screenwriter…

Mickey Mouse Versus the Mouseton Society of Evil by Nicolas Pothier & Johan Pilet
I am no expert on Euro Disney comics. Fantagraphics has been reprinting what they say are the best of that large universe – and I have no reason to doubt them; publishing programs always try to get the best of whatever – for a decade or more, and I’ve dipped into that sequence here and there….

REVIEW: The 7th Voyage of Sinbad
In 1958, this was as cutting-edge as it got. Ray Harryhausen took his stop-motion special effects wizardry and applied it to his first full-color film, The 7th Voyage of Sinbad, recognizing that the fantasy setting was ideal for his Dynamation creations. Viewed today, the effects can appear dated and, at times, quaint, but for those…

Daredevil: Born Again by Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli
I’m sure I’ve re-read this story since 1986. You can’t prove it from this blog, though. And my copy of the trade paperback is the original 1987 edition, with minimal credits and supplemental material, from the era when the Big Two were still figuring out the whole reprint-floppies-in-a-permanent-format thing. (I’m not sure how I can have…

The Undertaker, Vol. 1: The Gold Eater & Dance of the Vultures by Xavier Dorison & Ralph Meyer
I try to treat books on the level I find them; it’s only fair. This one is the first of a decent-length series of Western comics by two French creators. It collects the first two, very closely linked books in the series, both originally published in 2015 and translated by Tom Imber for this 2026…
