Many thanks for this. What an underrated talent Estrada was. I wish I'd seen his work of this caliber first, but instead I saw his much weaker superhero stuff such as Karate Kid first and had a bad first impression that had to be erased later.

(Also, my head is now exploding at the discovery Estrada actually knew Hemingway in Cuba!)

You're welcome.

I was wondering why Hemingway was idolized so heavily, thanks.

It's not universal, I developed an intense dislike for his writing having to read something like four of his novels at school and hating every one of them.

Where's his gin n tonic? Must've been before Hemmingway's drinking days.

Those are quite some chins!

The art is stiff, but in a good way. Great colours.

Very true :) Reminiscent of those old comics where attention to detail was stunning, even if movement is... well.
