What a great comic, Paul. I believe that I had this ish, plus #1. Both long gone, but classics without a doubt. Just reading the first 3 pages is a masterclass from Adams in pulling you into the story, using cinematic techniques - fantastic stuff! And Happy Christmas, by the way!
ReplyDeleteIt's a really great comic series Ian. At his peak no one could match Adams and I think he pulled out the stops in this one as Toth had drawn some excellent issues prior to this. I didn't have any of the Hot Wheels comics in 1970/71 and have been picking them up over several years. Have a great Christmas when it arrives as well
