BOOKLIST -- Graham Stone becomes the unwitting hostof the Tooth, a rampaging creature born of an ancient dragon's tooth, hunted by
a covetous sorcerer and his own savage beasts. While the story is amply
diverting, it's the conception of this book--a loving homage to the Marvel
comics of the 1970s--that truly makes it sing. Bunn (The Sixth Gun, 2011) and
Lee create an intricate "off screen" mythology and continuity around their
characters, referred to in faux letters pages and captioned asides that echo the
conversational melodrama coined by Stan the Man himself. Kindt (Superspy,
Revolver) raises the affair to a whole other level with his flawless sense of
design, reproducing the look of lower-quality paperstock and offering internal
covers and ads that will ring in the heart of any longtime comic reader. His art
doesn't falter, either, with slightly exaggerated and head-heavy figures and
deceptively simple shading, all of which suggests (but also deepens) the look of
the appropriate era. Fun for comic amateurs and a joy for
old-timers.
