They treat two white men very well, and they get paid back by one of them in a horrible way.Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09603892208775996594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-22025465579062726792014-07-09T18:13:45.979-05:002014-07-09T18:13:45.979-05:00A great tale though the artist made one mistake, I...A great tale though the artist made one mistake, I looked on the web and saw that tommy-guns used 45 caliber ammunition while the one in the splash page rifle ammunition is flying everywhere. Well, we can't expect comic artists to get every detail right.<br /><br /> JMR777https://www.blogger.com/profile/03538238702295526065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-59308484852887588012014-07-07T10:48:44.507-05:002014-07-07T10:48:44.507-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Mestierehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07469030153414408109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-988547930345378882014-07-07T10:09:26.185-05:002014-07-07T10:09:26.185-05:00One thing I always wondered about these stories is...One thing I always wondered about these stories is what is the real release for the reader? The grisly comeuppance, or the fact that there is possibly a penalty for greed? Because in this world, it seems -- and maybe I'm bitter, that you can be greedy and never really pay for it -- giant stone skull or not. I think the "Stardust the Super Wizard" type endings have a bit more to them then just evil meets it's end -- for a lot of kids who might not have had that much -- it gives them a world where there's real justice.<br /><br />After that rant, I'll recommend the book "Mail Order Mysteries", you'll never look at those plastic "figures" ads the same way again! These look like they are something different than flats, but I highly doubt they are that much more exciting (or licensed!)
