Wanted to be better
It's a post-apocalyptic story, with a different political party on each side of the apocalypse. The earth is all but destroyed. The reclamation requires further devastation, in the short term, and that's where the story takes place. It just does't come across as strongly as it should have. The good guys are poor but honest farmers. The bad guys' downfall is their greed...

This review is from: Legend of Mother Sarah: Tunnel Town (Paperback)
It's a post-apocalyptic story, with a different political party on each side of the apocalypse. The earth is all but destroyed. The reclamation requires further devastation, in the short term, and that's where the story takes place. It just does't come across as strongly as it should have. The good guys are poor but honest farmers. The bad guys' downfall is their greed for gold. Sarah's transport from one episode to the next is the comic sidekick, just a little too eager for the next dollar. Good stories can be made from such ordinary pieces, but it takes a little more skill than I saw here. The line drawing is competent. In fact, the scenery stole the show in most of the underground panels. There appears to be some ink-wash drawing in the first few pages. Sad to say, the coarse half-tone screen lost all of the subtlety that the artist put in originally. "Mother Sarah" is readable, even enjoyable, just not memorable. |
