A little thin for the asking price...,

This review is from: Cloak & Dagger: Child of Darkness, Child of Light (Hardcover)
...but not much wrong with what *is* there.
This volume is less than a 100 pages of story and covers. It's padded out with a Marvel Age Magazine feature and the Cloak and Dagger entries in the Marvel Universe reference. For $20 retail that's a little light; a number of people have wondered why Marvel couldn't have included Cloak and Dagger's first appearance in Spectacular Spider-Man. The four issues of the mini series that are there are a good introduction to the characters. Cloak and Dagger are set up to be complete contrasts - one is white, female from a wealthy background, the other black, male, from the inner city. But they're both young, have problems at home, and run away to New York where they're sucked up into the grim underbelly of New York society. They emerge with contrasting powers of light and darkness and become protectors to some, vigilantes to others, and estranged from just about everyone. The writing is good and, thankfully, despite the subject matter, there is little sermonizing on the part of scripter Bill Mantlo. I wouldn't like the art on most features; a little too gritty for my tastes. Here it works perfectly. The story moves quickly and can easily be read in half an hour. Production values are well up to Marvel's usual high standards. This just misses 5 stars for lack of quantity. The quality gets the 5 stars.

I remember reading Cloke & Dagger when I was a teenager. And to be able to re-read the comic again in full color. Well that was a major treat. This was worth the wait. All the joy of a comic book and no hassles with printers ink on you fingers. Love it.
