What Showcase Presents Anything? July 21, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Why should anyone purchase the deluge of Showcase Present . . .? The simplest reason is economics. For less than twenty dollars you can get a collection of eighteen to twenty-two issues of a Silver Age DC hero of your choice as opposed to fifty dollars for an Archives Collection of eight to ten of the same hero. The trade-off, however, is the Showcase Presents series does not include color and uses a lower quality paper than the Achives Collections. And the Archives Collections are hard-covered, too.
However, I purchased Showcase Presents Green Lantern Volume 3 for another reason:
I have Showcase Presents Green Lantern, Volume 1 more or less out of sentimentally reasons. I've looked over Volume 2 and was/am not that interested in it. However, when Volume 3 came out, I immediately purchased it.
Why?
This volume contains the issues of Green Lantern where artist Gil Kane inks his own pencils. In a way, Volume 3 provides me the opportunity to study Kane's work without the distraction of the presence of color.
In Volume 3 you get to compare Kane's work on his own pencils to that Sid Greene's inks. But for my money, an artist's work never appears as good as when the artist does the full production: pencils and inks. And this holds true for Gil Kane.
After seeing Kane inking his own work, you can compare his inking to Sid Greene's and see the impact an inker can have on an artist's pencils. I feel that Greene did not really do justice to Kane's pencils. But compare for yourself.
Also this volume contains one of the finest Green Lantern stories, a two-issue feature with the titles Cosmic Enemy Number One and The Green Lanterns' Fight for Survival. Why these two stories were excluded from the TPB collection The Greatest Green Lantern Stories Ever Told is beyond me. The story is well done and the art is ALL Kane. What more could a fan want. But, at least I have it now with Volume 3.
