Amazon: Steel of a Soldier's Heart
Product Description
by Robb Phipps and Bill Williams
Published in 2000 by Brenner Printing (First Printing)
"Readers should buy only comics they like. This, like most good advice, is so simple that it's difficult to heed. Don't buy a comic that guest stars a character you like, if the character's regular creative team has nothing to do with it. Chances are if you examine a body of work you like closely enough, you'll find that you don't like a character, but rather the way that character is handled by a certain team of creators. If those creators are nowhere to be found, there's a good chance the publisher is just cashing in on the guest character's popularity to move a weak or dying book. If a publisher is attempting to shove a zillion-part company crossover down your throat, buy only the part(s) written and drawn by the creators you like." - From the Introduction by Mike W. Barr.
"Mike W. Barr is a talented professional writer with an insight developed over twenty years of work in the comics industry. If you read between the lines of the first part of his brilliant introduction, you can only conclude that he is telling you not to buy anything that will not enrich your life or provide significant intellectual stimulation. I think he means this book." - Bill Williams, editior.
