4.0 out of 5 stars Really Good!, August 17, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Green Lantern: Ganthet's Tale (Comic)
This may qualify as a really unobjective review, given that Larry Niven is one of my favorite Science Fiction writers, and John Byrne is my favorite comic book writer/artist.

Larry Niven's take on Green Lantern's mythos is really astounding, and it fits well for me, being a Green Lanter fan too. John Byrne's dialogues and layouts are really good, and his art is at his normal level. Byrne's not an astounding penciller, but he manages to get the work done, and by writing and drawing most of his work. he gets a cohesion that no writer-artist team can get.

The only setback to this story for me is that it's to compressed, I feel they should have dedicated a full 10 issues mini-series or something like that. It's a bit crammed in the prestige edition book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Let's hear it for the Little People!, July 7, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Green Lantern: Ganthet's Tale (Comic)
What a creative idea. Niven takes the great, but very short, Guardians of the Universe off their stellar perch and connects them with mythological creatures far more close to home. It is a fast-paced and very fun read. I highly recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars A nice combination., November 16, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Green Lantern: Ganthet's Tale (Comic)
Larry Niven is one of the best science fiction writers around. John Byrne is one of the best comic creators in the industry. The two combine to make a wonderful piece of pictorial literature. The Green Lantern is one of my favorite comic book heroes to this day. The mingling of science fact, science fiction, and fantasy creates a compelling story. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did when I picked it up. Happy reading.
