WOW, this one's a real beaut: 11" 14"full color, heavy off-white paper stock, heavier cardstock cover, printed in Belgium. Nice! For the record: Crickets Color Special Number One: Blood of the Virgin is a stand-alone edition of Sammy's story in (the now out of print) Kramer's Ergot Ten; new art on covers – outside and inside. Great story, great art – super color work, in execution and reproduction. Don't miss it!
Talk about a long time coming! Here at last is the seventh issue of Sammy Harkhams's Crickets (arriving a full five years after the sixth). This issue is not only a double-size, 64-page behemoth of an issue, it is also entirely devoted to what we now know to be the penultimate chapter in the long running "Blood of the Virgin" saga. And what a chapter it is! We don't want to give away too much of what's in store, but suffice it to say the storyline takes a substantial detour here, one that really stands apart from what has come before and that covers a lot of ground – both in time and space – and that it's a real treat that both long time readers and newcomers are sure to both enjoy and appreciate. Starting out with a tour de force of comics formalism and moving on through an emotional roller coaster, this is an issue worth savoring one page at a time. Don't miss it!
GONE! (from us) – BUT, we now have COVERLESS copies for sale at a token cost, HERE.
It's HERE! The conclusion to "Blood of the Virgin" pulls off the hat trick of being a slow burn that delivers a knock out punch. And there's more!
AND, for anyone who missed it, we also now have coverless copies of Crickets #7 available for a token cost, HERE.
