Howard, proud." Comics Beat "By Crom, this is a fine tale! 10/10." Superherohype.com "Every aspect of this book was on point! The Buscema-inspired artwork from De La Torre couldn't be more perfect. Jim Zub's writing would make REH proud. 10/10" League of Comic Geeks "I think this is fantastic! It's a solid read, it's entertaining, the art is amazing" Graphic Policy "De La Torre's artwork is gorgeous and dynamic, and it hearkens back to some of the most beloved depictions of the character.
