For all those collecting the DC Facsimile Editions, DETECTIVE COMICS #475 is now available, though for some reason the page margins seem slightly larger than before, resulting in a smaller image on each page. That aside, it's another classic issue that's well-worth having, either to replace your long-gone original copy, or because you didn't buy it back in the day. (There's no excuse - unless you weren't born then, that is.) Grab one while they're going.
I have an original, so i probably wont bother, although its a fantastic story & art, the Jokers grinning fish, or maybe i will, as it is so great, as i recall its in 2 parts?..are both in one issue?
ReplyDeleteI'll have to re-read it to be sure whether it's a complete story, though the last page seems to hint at something to come. However, there's no 'the end' or 'next ish' blurb to clue the reader in at a glance.
ReplyDeleteI loved that Marshall Roger's etc series and used to have them all but for some reason got rid of them so I'll be picking this up I would love DC to do a facsimilie of Roger's Mr Miracle as well that was one if my favourite series back in the day .
ReplyDeleteI can't recall if I ever read that particular series, McS - I'd have to see it to prompt my memory one way or the other. Did you ever see the Steve Rude one-shot Mister Miracle Special?
ReplyDeleteHi yes I have that Steve Rude issue somewhere in the loft.
ReplyDeleteThe story's nothing great, but Rude's art is always worth a look.
ReplyDeleteBTW Kid, have you seen the Steve Rude documentary (on Amazon Prime if you have it)? Quite a 'complicated' guy it seems, not what I was expecting at all (whereas David Mazzucchelli who, on reading Rubber Blanket I assumed might be a bit dour seems really upbeat from his teaching video on Youtube!).
ReplyDeleteHaven't seen it, V&S, and don't have Amazon Prime (had it on a trial period, but never used it), but I'll see if it's on YouTube. Jim Shooter has some interesting things to say about Steve Rude - you can find the link to his site in my blog list. Once there, type Steve Rude into his search box.
