The Ogre has too much work to do today, so we're going to skip today's mini-review.



Actually, because I was going to call today's entry "The Ogre Picks His Nose," I was just going to go with a pic of the character named Picknose from the comic book series Elfquest by Richard and Wendy Pini and call it done. Instead, I'll take a couple of minutes to and go and recommend Elfquest to dear readers one 'n all. Okay--I can recommend the original series which started in 1978. I can't speak for any of the sequels or spin-offs. I've looked at them, but was never drawn to them like I was with the original series. Good story, incredible artwork. All in all, an imaginative romp that's been copied by others. If you can, try to find the four Starblaze graphic novel editions from 1981. They're a little rare now, but the quality of the colors and overall condition if my copies (and I'm hard on books) are still great after 25 years.

Instead, let's just call this a mini-mini review and keep it our little secret.

There's some great art to be seen at Ben Samuel's Classic Golden Age Comic Book Cover Gallery. There are some fun images here. Check out the three galleries: Super-Hero and War Comics, Good Girl and Romance Comics, and Crime and Horror Comics. A lot of this stuff is prior to the CCA ratings.

Cheers!
