What Did I Learn? Today’s review is on Ace Hoyle, a comic written by Phill Provance with art by Tomas Batha and later Edgar Arce. Well, many of my thoughts echo what other reviewers have said, so I will just run through them quickly for efficiency’s sake. I would have preferred to see the sketchy [...]

What Did I Learn? Today’s review is on a comic created by Scott and Georgia Ball; it is entitled Scooter and Ferret.

The comic has a whole range of page styles like sketchy line and pattern-tones, each with their own feel. I happen to like most elements of manga style artwork – particularly when [...]
