This is a classic Jimbo and long out-of-print. If you haven't read this character before, try some of the cheaper comics first...but if you already know and like him, don't hesitate to pick this up if you can find it!

5.0 out of 5 stars A MASTERPIECE, November 23, 2005

This review is from: Jimbo (Paperback)

Panter's been around forever, but for my money, this represents his apex. Jimbo's existential journeys, involving lots of injuries and countless band-aids, represent the punk aesthetic of the late 70s as well as a subversion of that aesthetic. (Huh?? What does he MEAN??) Panter draws the way Brando acts or Ali boxes: as an instinctive expression that is untamed by too much thought. Here, in "Jimbo," he achieves perfection.
