Cover Title Review Little Women I can just imagine a Team-Up issue with the Little Men (the Atom, Doll Man, Ant-Man, and the Micronauts)! ‎The Invincible Man in the Iron Mask I'd buy anything with the words "mask" and "iron" in the title! ‎Lord of the Flies A natural for the oft-neglected jungle comics genre! Lots of tribal fighting and a boy wearing a severed pig's head! In the minus column, no scantily clad jungle babes! A Farewell to Arms Okay, so the protagonist doesn't really lose his arms, but did Superman ever really murder Lois Lane in outer space? Did Spider-Man actually fist bump Barack Obama? It's called artistic license, people! The Scarlet Letter Hester Prynne, you have replaced Power Girl in my dreams! The Grapes of Wrath It's like The Walking Dead with the Great Depression standing in for the zombie apocalypse! Uncle Tom's Cabin in the Woods! Simon Legree! Voted 1852's best villain with the worst villain name next to Paste-Pot Pete! Of Human Bondage You had me at "bondage"!
