I believe that one of the pleasures of the second volume which you did not mention is the heavy dose of stories featuring Big Red McLane...the lumberjack. Back in 1940 at the dawn of the comic book they eviently thought that stories about a lumberjack were a good idea!

These tales exist primarily as an excuse for Hanks to draw page after page of guys beating the hell out of each other. An obsessive myopic brute, himself, Fletcher Hanks has been described by R. Crumb as, "A twisted dude". He's right.]]> Tuesday, April 20, 2010 07:55 AM <![CDATA[Feanor on "The Take" by Fëanor]]>
You're right, I didn't talk enough about Big Red McLane! The lumberjack genre has been sadly neglected in modern comics. I was fascinated by how Red's story took an odd new turn in this book, with him gaining a girlfriend and starting in on a boxing career.

If R. Crumb calls you twisted, you've got problems. :)]]> Tuesday, April 20, 2010 09:03 AM <![CDATA[Paul Karasik on "The Take" by Fëanor]]> Wednesday, April 21, 2010 06:18 AM <![CDATA[Feanor on "The Take" by Fëanor]]> Wednesday, April 21, 2010 08:19 AM
