“As always, the Graphic Classics folks do a great job of pairing artists and writers to really bring out the essence of a story. The book opens with an adaptation of Zane Grey’s ‘Riders of the Purple Sage,’ a straight-up horse opera and a good one, and also includes the vaguely supernatural ‘The Right Eye of the Commander,’ by Bret Harte, and an over-the-top Robert E. Howard tale of the big, dumb guy who sets everything right, ‘Knife River Prodigal.’ There’s a nice blend of styles and stories, and not a clunker in the bunch.”
