Yes, it is the penultimate chapter of this exciting series and I
am sorry to see it end. I'm hoping there is another great project
in the wind for this multi-talented team. The covers have been
exceptional through the entire run with some by great artists like
Steranko, Bernie Wrightson, Neal Adams, Gene Colan and Mike Kaluta
to name a few. Glen Orbik has done a series of covers for the last
act of this drama featuring a major character on each one. He has
captured the essence of each one without copying the style of
Claude and James, the interior artists. As for the interiors, it
has been amazing how well this team works together. Claude is an
amazing artist and the inks and colors compliment his work
perfectly. The production values on this book are top notch and I
would love to see these guys on another project real soon.

Len Wein is masterful with the scripting chores. The recap of the
story on the first page of each issue is done from a different
perspective each issue, but always gives you the essential details
so that anyone can pick up any issue and follow what is going on.
Things are coming to a head as Claude Ballare has set his plan in
motion and "The Hat", aka Lazlo Gerevich - the Victorian, is
gathering a team and revealing his secret to some folks who knew
him as a simple taxi driver with a cajun accent. The government is
also about to strike against part of the plot which involves large
amounts of counterfeit cash and a stolen submarine. The final
piece is a huge machine that Ballare calls a cyclochronometer
which no doubt will be the major obstacle our heroes will have to
overcome.

The series has been a wild ride with lots of action and mystery.
There has been plotting and deception. People have been parading
around as "The Hat" and killing people that are no longer useful.
This has prejudiced the cops against Lazlo but now they are on
the same side and hope they can stop Balare's evil scheme.  It
all wraps up next time and I can't wait.  This is how really good
comics are done. Everything is there - plot, development,
characterization, conflict, resolution all backed up with the
other half which is a superior art team. Grab this issue and the
next to see what I mean.  Then go out and get the collect trades
to read it all from the start.


CAPTAIN GRAVITY AND THE POWER OF THE VRIL #1 (of 6)
32 pages, full color, $2.95/$4.60CAN
Written by Joshua Dysart
Pencils by Sal Velluto
Inks by Bob Almond
Colors by Mike Garcia
Letters by Richard Starkings & Comicraft's Albert Deschesne
Cover by Sal Velluto, Bob Almond and Mike Garcia

Fans of old time Hollywood, serial adventures and the unexpected
hero can sink their teeth into this new mini-series. It has a lot
of the elements to make it a great series. The hero is a
director's assistant, a young black man worried about the state of
the world in late 1939. He received a gift when he handled a
circular transparent stone in a sealed room in a Mayan ruin. The
mysterious Element 115 gave him the power of flight. He has since
had some adventures as Captain Gravity, a costume reminiscent of
THE ROCKETEER, which disguises him and his skin color.  Now he is
the subject of a movie he is working on, with no one knowing the
hero is in their midst.

The plot of the story revolves around the swastika, symbol of Nazi
Germany. But as our hero, Joshua Jones, learns it is also seen in
various cultures through history, from Africa to the Americas.  At
a dinner with actress Chase Dubouis and her new boyfriend Jan
Gunther he learns of Gunther's interest in the symbol and many of
the varied occurrences of the symbol are displayed in his private
collection. He know that the symbol means a lot to Gunther - and
so do the government operatives who have been watching him, with
Chance's help.

Wether out of affection or concern, Joshua returns as Captain
Gravity to watch out for Chance from high above and follows her to
her rendezvous with the G-men.  Now he knows the risk she is
taking to learn the Nazi plans and makes a decision that will
affect both their lives.

I liked this first issue a lot.  The art has a freshness to it
that is unlike most other comics.  There is a tone in the colors
and a softness in the lines that fits the period of the story,
The old costumes and trappings of that period are done well. The
clandestine meetings are in moody shades while a revelation at
the end is a sharp contrast to the rest of the book. The
characters are interesting as is the plot. Six issues should be
enough to give us a lot of thrills and surprises and I am glad to
be here for the ride. Like the rest of the work from Penny
Farthing Press this title is a quality entertaining product. Get
now while you can.

DECOY MENAGERIE - Ashcan Preview
24 pages, digest size, black & white, color cover, $1.00

Penny Farthing Press
www.pfpress.com

Decoy created by Courtney Huddleston

This is a preview of a collaboration coming soon. It will be a
comic with over 100 pages in full color featuring the work of
Mike Kunkel, Ty Templeton, Martin Montiel, Arad Injejikian,
Joshua Dysart, Ryan Woodward and more; including Mr. Decoy
himself, Courtney Huddleston. Now, Decoy is an alien who was
banished to Earth and saved the life of a Rookie cop which forged
a symbiosis between them.  He is a cute little guy with large
oval vertical eyes and a single antenna on his head.  He can
actually merge into Bobby Luck so others do not know he is there.
Together they have adventures while Bobby tries to keep from
getting fired. He has a crush on his partner Tessa and Decoy has
others looking for him for their own reasons.

The regular series of mini-series has been fun. There is comedy
and adventure and always finely crafted art. Now a whole bunch of
people get to play with the characters. This ashcan has no
dialogue so you only get to see what the art will be like. I am
looking forward to the finished product.
