“For cultural historians and collectors with a passion for vintage comics.”

"As a piece of comic book history, this is remarkable. Don Winslow comics... blended somewhat realistic adventure fiction with outrageous pulp... lots of fistfights... a sexy female pirate... and a couple of really weird male villains that Dick Tracy would have loved."
--ICv2

"The book is fantastic!"

These are classic adventure tales from a time when both a nine year old and a retired general could feel proud of the way their country conducted itself around the world.”
--New York Journal of Books
