Book Description

Series: Marshal Law | Publication Date: October 14, 2008

Legendary creative team Pat Mills (Judge Dredd, Sláine, A.B.C. Warriors) and Kevin O’Neill (The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen) continue the saga of ‘hero-hunter’ Marshal Law in these two gripping novellas!

In ‘Day of the Dead’, a worn-out Marshal Law hopes only for retirement. But any chance of a quiet life is dashed when a pack of superhero serial killers begins stalking the streets of San Futuro. And in ‘Cloak of Evil’, one of San Futuro’s leading sex queen hostesses turns up dead in what appears to be a bizarre ‘suicide’. It’s time for Marshal Law to once more don his black leather and barbed wire... and dish the pain! Featuring an all-new cover and striking illustrations throughout by award-winning artist Kevin O’Neill! Warning: Adults only!

1.0 out of 5 stars Not a graphic novel, March 1, 2010

This review is from: Marshal Law: Origins (Paperback)

This is a novel with illustrations. It is not a graphic novel... as I discovered. So I get this book sans a proper description from Amazon... I do read through a bit of it and the problems are greater than just a mislabeled description from Amazon.

Problem is the prose is not very well written and what little art there is... is black and white pencils.

Pass on this and buy the Omnibus edition of Marshal Law. You'll be all the happier for it.
