Old-Timey Hockey Tales #1

Anybody out there miss hockey? I sure do. It’s easily my favorite of all the major sports (although it can’t really call itself a major sport in the US these days) and this is right around the time of year that the playoffs would be heating up, which really sucks. Anyway, enough about me. If you’ve read the rest of this page you know that I love Robert’s work, and if you just read those last few sentences you know that I love hockey, so how do you think I feel about this book? I’m just thrilled to see that it’s “#1”, meaning that there’s more on the way. Do a hundred of these Robert! You’ll corner the market on hockey comics for when it comes back and has a popularity explosion! My only problem with this is that it was short, but I still learned a lot about Terry Sawchuk, Bill Barilko and Maurice “Rocket” Richard. Actually, I learned more about the 1955 playoffs and the riot than Rocket Richard, but why quibble? Great stuff here, contact info is up there, $2!
