THE ROOK MAGAZINE

Bill Dubay’s time-travelling hero proved popular enough in Eerie to warrant his own title, where the emphasis was very much on rollicking adventure rather than on Warren’s staple horror fare. The Rook strip itself was generally entertaining, with nice art from Lee Elias for #1–6, but it was the backup strips that provided the comic’s real high points. Chief among these was Alfredo Alcala’s barbarian epic ‘Vector’ (#2–7), Sherlock Holmes, beautifully drawn by Anton Caravana in #10, Noly Panaligan in #13–14 and “Bolt” by Alex Nino in #1. Other features of note include Nestor Redondo’s gorgeous Bat, and a couple of features from Joe Kubert’s obscure Sojourn comic, Lee Elias’ detective strip “Kronos” (8–11) and John Severin’s Western Eagle (#12–14). For the less committed reader, however, the magazine’s best strip is Alex Toth’s “Bravo For Adventure” in #3–4, a superb 1930s adventure strip by one of comics’ finest creators that should have a place in everyone’s collection.
