Summary: A Classic in EVERY sense of the word!
Comment: You may have heard of the famed 1973 Manhunter mini-series. You may have heard it was a coup for Archie Goodwin and Walter Simonson. You may remember it from its original run in Detective Comics as an 8-page back-up feature. If you haven't, you should! The Manhunter tale is something every self-respecting comic book fan should know about, and should appreciate with every fibre of their being. No, I'm not being overly effusive, I'm talking FACT! Manhunter was without a doubt, a bejewelled crown that was rightfully recognized as the best during its own limited time, one that STILL holds up today! This is THE ONE that cemented the reputations of Archie and Walter. Quite frankly, I know of no other comic that has withstood the test of time so superbly. You owe it to yourself to own a copy. You WILL be blown away.

Summary: A MINOR MASTERPIECE
Comment: A couple of things that always strike me whenever I read these stories. 1)I'm always amazed at how good Walt Simonson was at the very begining of his career. This was the first major work that he had ever done for one of the "Big Two" and he was turning in work that looked like he had been doing this for years. Of course the scripts by Archie Goodwin weren't bad either. 2)Goodwin and Simonson were able to cram more action, drama, ideas and character developement into 8 pages than most other pros could in 30-40. 3)Considering that this title only ran for 8 installments it sure carried away a slew of Eagle Awards at the time. Still a minor masterpiece after all of these years.

Summary: One of the Finest Works the Medium has ever seen.
Comment: Two legends of the comic field,Archie Goodwin and Walt Simonson have created a most masterful, stunning tale. Those who have read Manhunter know that every accolade it has earned is just. Short of Watchmen, Manhunter ranks as my second favourite. The pacing is incredible, packing a great deal of storytelling in a few pages, yet with out overloading us. This story has already become legendary. The art is dynamic, and vibrant. Simonson's pictures flow with Goodwin's words seamlessly. Nothing I can say can do it justice. Manhunter is simply brilliant.
