I thought I knew where this one was going, the ghost ending felt tacked on but it was all so crazy and offbeat that it worked anyway.<BR/><BR/>I like the stark black and white line art too. In fact I would love to see some of the Fawcett and Ace stories without the terrible coloring.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-13671035116359321452009-01-06T14:26:00.000-06:002009-01-06T14:26:00.000-06:00I must say--I've been loving the b&w art o...I must say--I've been loving the b&w art on these past few entries. Something about the stark look of uncolored pages really appeals to me! As to Karl, I can't help but think that the future generations will be doomed to repeat the blood ritual, seeing as how our guy met his doom in such a way that it's just continuing to nourish the fields. What a bummer!<BR/><BR/>VERY cool DVD rec, too. As to subs, it's in the international language of Mexploitation, so it'll be worth adding to my collection :)Tenebrous Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10032561062849200919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-87401158537094094422009-01-06T11:20:00.000-06:002009-01-06T11:20:00.000-06:00I'm sorry, but Karl was a complete tool.I'm sorry, but Karl was a complete tool.The Igloo Keeperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17357749925165000647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-49045703319116938542009-01-06T11:00:00.000-06:002009-01-06T11:00:00.000-06:00I don't know if it's so much that Karl is stupid (...I don't know if it's so much that Karl is stupid (he starts off inspired and hopeful enough to do good with his wine vines) it just appears to me that he's suddenly possessed with some pre-code, er, overnight "King Complex."

(Forget that this mini-field wouldn´t even provide enough grapes for 10 bottles, lol)<BR/>To see the bodies being dragged across the earth, so effective in b/w. Color would have killed the impact.<BR/><BR/>And the dialoge is soo great. "Now I´ll drain your blood over my fields! Soon I´ll be rich and famous!" Ah, there is nothing like a delusional madman *g<BR/><BR/>Fabulous entry.<BR/><BR/>The text story was kind of by the numbers, how often was this plot used. Still, it had some nice bits of writing. "Her eyes bulged, her face turned dark - His fat throat ... was clear in the moonlight" Rather graphic for its time, I would think.AndyDeckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12806906746754478064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-19200296050490507832009-01-06T04:30:00.000-06:002009-01-06T04:30:00.000-06:00Karl is the stupidest main character I have seen h...Karl is the stupidest main character I have seen here, but two or three of his crazed expressions compensate nicely.<BR/><BR/>As easily as he died, couldn't he have just let everyone he killed trip over the same bit of barbed wire and bleed to death? Or did the narrator neglect to mention Karl had hemophilia?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13836904680434822238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-64650957958943557822009-01-06T01:59:00.000-06:002009-01-06T01:59:00.000-06:00Ach ja!

Jeez, people can be dense. Kidding, really liked the story and art, Rousso's inks are great too, enough that i'm actually willing to overlook those issues of FANTASTIC FOUR he murdered. Never heard of either of the two Mexican movies, but the titles and the special effects rumors sound intriguing. Definitely gonna check it out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
