At long last, it's the origin of the Gentleman! Lord Saampa and his Serpent Cult strike in the USàbut are they here to serve their scaly god, or to save a soul? And either way, can the Gentleman stop them? Plus: Another incarnation of Astro City's counterculture champions-this time, one you've seen before! RATED T
Date Available: 01/18/2017
BONUS REVIEW by "Doc" Schaefer


Due to some sort of listing snafu, issue #42 is actually the life and times of Mister Manta and not the Gentlemen. Great news is that it doesn't matter. This story is still a gem. The story of a man allowed to find out what it really is to live out life on an uninhabited island is truly calming and delves deep into the human psyche. A definite winner in both story and art. And a special shout out to colorist Peter Pantazis for knowing far more shades of blue and orange than I ever knew existed!

I give it 9 out of 10 Grahams
