Picked this up mostly for the Ramsey Campbell/Mike Zulli piece. I have to reread the original Campbell story sometime. I like Zulli's art here, but I'm not sure it's a great fit with the story; it seems overly explicit and detailed. I'd prefer a more distanced interpretation. Highlights are the installments of "Through the Habitrails" and "From Hell", both collected in single volumes, and a lovely one-pager from Price and Martinez. The Jeff Jones cover and Charles Burns snippets are worthwhile, n

Highlights are the installments of "Through the Habitrails" and "From Hell", both collected in single volumes, and a lovely one-pager from Price and Martinez. The Jeff Jones cover and Charles Burns snippets are worthwhile, not a fan of the rest. (As I may have remarked elsewhere, what is Matt Howarth's piece doing here?) So I'm not sure if this is worth picking up for your personal library. The good news is reasonably priced copies do show up these days, including of the previously prohibitively expensive #2. (You might have a review of that foisted on you sometime.)

"EROTICA THEMED" For this anthology I recommend taking the time to read the 1-1.5 "lead-ins" even though it's very annoying to have an introduction for EVERY chapter. -I read introductions even though I often regret the time spent but if they're about the book by someone other than an author/artist I've learned to save them for the end.

"EROTICA THEMED" For this anthology I recommend taking the time to read the 1-1.5 "lead-ins" even though it's very annoying to have an introduction for EVERY chapter. -I read introductions even though I often regret the time spent but if they're about the book by someone other than an author/artist I've learned to save them for the end. Text before a book should only include a contributor helping the reader better understand what they are about to read or someone else framing the work within a context- but NOT talking about the story itself. Some Non-fiction : Intimate details throughout a re-counting of the Black Dahlia tragedy set within yet far longer than the fiction story surrounding it. An Adaptation : M. Zulli "joins the rarefied ranks of those who have successfully translated the current master of British weird fiction into the comics medium" with "Again" by Ramsey Campbell. Why didn't Howarth name his contribution "BabIES on Fire" instead of using the singular version?
