Hard to be sure, but Vol.22 sounds like it might have been the first review I wrote. I got those books completely out of sequence. That full-color illo of Coley was a real surprise. I once put together a gallery of Coley pin-ups at a Yahoo group that contained many pieces not included in the reprints. I also corresponded with John Blackburn for awhile, and he always flipped me out by including original drawings on the letters, or on the envelopes. But I've never seen that one. The Hurricane Kids review cracks me up. It always amazes me when 2 different people have very similar ideas, without any knowledge of the other. (In my case, the exploding dino was the one clue in the story that it takes place in the future, not the distant past.) This overview was so long, I guess you'll get to the John Blackburn books later. If my financial situation allowed it, I'd love to be able to collect and re-publish his stuff myself. The writing is that good! Blackburn became one of my many inspirations. I'm sure I would have done STORMBOY anyway (I created the character back in 1966), but I doubt I would have done an X-rated version if I hadn't been readng the Coley books. Wow! Thanks a lot, Steve.
