THE LEGEND KNOWN AS... REVIEW

[EFLOW1 - DeviantART] I've just finished reading 'The legend known as...'. First off, I must say the production values, i.e. pencilling, inking, and colouring are professional quality and easily on par with much of what I've seen from various works from Image and Darkhorse.

It's a noirish sort of tale filled with mystery and espionage. Gorman and Harvey have created an intriguing underworld of secret operations and dangerous characters. Judging by the cre… Continue
