Comments from Challenger's blog:
"We note the splendid Frank Wu cover, which combines a
mythical fire-breathing dragon with the real Baron Manfred von Richtofen and his
Fokker triplane. Well, he was real, but the Red Baron had the good luck to die
in 1918 before being associated with the Nazis, and flew into legend, so I guess
it’s all right." Alexis A.
Gilliland
"This is the first piece of Frank Wu’s art I have ever seen. Colorful. Acrylics,
right? It would require enormous patience to do that sort of thing in oils." E.B.
Frohvet
"Great Frank Wu cover," Robert Kennedy
