For me I have to say that The Clock strip I found a little off-putting. Its the whole use of photos that can work in certain cases but I just found myself wondering where I had seen the photo this was taken from. In a way it detracted and I really could not get into this story (which was written well enough).
Nosferatu II had a style which works and was enjoyable to read while Anna Key has a style which is the artist's own and though not what I would say "Wow!" to it works and is fun and very colourful and this i9s entertainment so that's a win!
Resistors may seem a little text "light" but that is because this is a pre-lettered page from the Kult blog. Pester is also very adept at black and white work and is still, in my opinion, one of the most under rated comic artists in the UK.
IU am guessing at 4pp as the pages are not numbered and I can find nothing on the blog and to be honest long covid fatigue makes me less than interested in hand counting every page. Go to the Kult blog to order where you will find how much etc for Europe and the US. £9.00 is all I can find for the UK so have no idea whether that includes p&p or not.
PLEASE; give page count and cost +p&p if you submit books as itr makes it so much easier.
Hi Terry! Thanks for the review. The page count is 48 pages (not counting the covers - 52 with.) I didn't bother to mention the page count as there's a contents page which lists what number page the final story starts on... You would have only needed to count the last 11 pages to work out the full number. The P+P is included in the price listed on the blogsite.
