Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #669, Vol. 669 Book

For anyone that first saw this material printed in a larger, non-digest size, and in color, this small black and white reprint is disappointing because of how it marginalized Michael Golden's amazing artwork. This off-kilter spoof of science fiction and comic book conventions in funny animal form was the stand out property from Neal Adams' Continuity Studios in the mid to late eighties (it was their only property not being torturously redrawn to look like it was drawn by Adams himself). A largely unseen, desultory cartoon series resulted. This book, repackaged (badly) to appeal to tween manga fans, represents the entire comic output of the series. Unfortunately, Golden only draws the first two thirds of the book, with lesser hands drawing (or tracing) the final chapters tying up many of the storylines (and leaving others completely unaddressed). Hama and Golden's work deserves better than this ham-handed treatment.
