5.0 out of 5 stars Visit Neverwhere, where all your dreams come true, July 12, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Den: Neverwhere (Den Series volume 1) (Paperback)

A bizarre amateur radio experiment opens a portal to another dimension, and archtypical 98 pound weakling Daniel Ellis Nelson steps through. He finds his body transformed into an archtypical strongman's. And that isn't all that's different in Neverwhere. There is evil to fight, damsels (themselves transformed earthlings as well) to rescue, and so forth. In Corben's pen, watercolor wash and airbrush style which set the tone for so much fantasy art of the 1980s.

5.0 out of 5 stars Corben takes the reader into a fantastic world+adventure, August 20, 2001

This review is from: Den: Neverwhere (Den Series volume 1) (Paperback)

A great introduction to Corben's "Den" series and the entire genre of the adult-science fiction/adult-fantasy genre personified by Heavy Metal Magazine and it's many wannabe-copycats (in fact, "Den" was the series that made Heavy Metal a respected publication).

Though "Neverwhere" is mostly action and violence--with the occasional tasteful lovemaking thrown in--the entire series delves into a theological and psychological Lovecraftian epic, so I recommend not just this book but the rest of the graphic novels! Corben's style of airbrushed landscapes, beautiful nude characters, and violent fight scenes makes "Den 1: Neverwhere" for a unique and entertaining graphic novel in an otherwise inflated, saturated, and cliched comic industry.

5.0 out of 5 stars Graphic novels don't get any better than this., February 9, 1999

If you read graphic novels, then you must find copies of the Den Saga as published by Fantagor Press.

Graphic novels simply don't get any better! The story and art are both incredible.

Richard Corben is da man!!!
