Yeah, I thought they were pretty good. The stories seem
faithful (as Jim said).
I did not personally care for the very stylized style of the
drawing for
"Goldfish." It is cool art, but distracting in a story.
I agree with Jim's evaluation regarding the best story. I
loved David Lloyd's beautiful art for "The Pencil." It almost
has the feel of a classic film noir.
The art for "Trouble is My business" was competent and drawn
in the style of the '30s pulp illustrations, but I thought it
lacked a certain something....
The Jim Steranko cover nice, but I thought it a bit too
parodic. Marlowe's jaw is absurdly square. I think they
probably got him to do the cover because his name carries
some weight in comic circles.
All in all, nice adaptations and worth picking up if you
enjoy comics and Chandler (or if you wanted to get a comic
fan interested in Chandler).
