Created and written by American Comics Group editor [author:Richard Hughes] under one of his many pseudonyms, Herbie chronicled the adventures of the most unlikely of heroes, the rotund, everyman Herbie Popnecker. This most memorable title from ACG relied on sharp witted scripts and [author:Ogden Whitney]'s understated art. Energized by his arsenal of magical lollipops, Herbie exhibited a wide range of powers in a variety of genres against an odd assortment of villains. Fifty years after its initial publication, this handsome collection of the first sixteen Herbie stories demonstrates that these tales still supply a simple, near perfect parody of superhero comics and its fandom while remaining uniquely its own entity. (Sample Story) My family's favourite comic from the 1960s is reprinted in this 3-volume series. I suggest starting with the second Dark Horse archive because the first includes early stories in which the character was evolving, the second includes the origin of the Fat Fury, and the third includes two reprints from the first. A Catalog of Herbie Stories is available at perlypalms.com along with an exhaustive compilation of recurring themes in Herbie stories. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Make way for the Fat Fury! The unlikeliest superhero of all time makes his mark in this new Dark Horse archival series. Coming from the strange, wry imaginations of classic comics scribe Richard Hughes and artist Ogden Whitney, Herbie Popnecker looks like a plump lump, but with his collection of supernatural lollipops, there is pretty much nothing that he can't do. Herbie Archives Volume 1 collects the earliest appearances of Herbie, as he battles monsters, bends time and space, and gets the better of Fidel Castro! Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

However, it also makes this collection too long by half. Once you get the premise of Herbie, the "stories" don't really go anywhere. It's quirky Scooby-Doo with a Bugs Bunny sensitivity, but not nearly as memorable.
This is totally a comic you should be familiar with, but you don't need to read more than about 5 issues. ( )
