Man, the old style of writing for comics can get clunky. So, so clunky. There's more nuance nowadays: a little more trust of the audience, so not everything has to be said quite as plainly as it is. Still, I want to see what happens to that lady who went through Terrigenesis, but there was ...
Secret Teachings of a Comic Book Master: The Art of Alfredo Alcala I think the most important factor determining whether you will enjoy this book is your expectations. When I picked it up, I was more focused on the "Secret teachings" bit of the title and description than the "Art of Alfredo Alcala" ...

This was the low period in DC Comics (well, one of them, anyway) between ...
One of the better Marvel Masterworks volumes I've read, this book features the beginning of what would become the Hulk's second comic book series, beginning with Tales to Astonish #59.
