Grell’s sorcery, sword-and-Automatic-Magnum opus has been revived
twice since he left the book in 1982, and the most recent series (2006)
that he didn’t write has been quickly forgotten. So it’s especially
good to have Grell once again steering the tale of Travis Morgan, an
American military man turned freedom fighter in an other-dimensional,
timeless world inside the earth, one where the sun is stuck constantly
at noon. Also, starting on issue seven, Grell’s gorgeous art is
featured with his writing, the first time in 27 years. For pure
scantily clad, escapist fare, it’s hard to go wrong here.
