4.0 out of 5 stars A hit and miss collection of illustrated Ellison stories 25 July 2004
By Lawrance M. Bernabo HALL OF FAME VINE™ VOICE
If you pick by "The Illustrated Harlan Ellison," then be sure you get the 3-D glasses so you can enjoy Jim Steranko's illustrations for "'Repent, Harlequin!' said the Ticktockman." There are seven Ellison short stories illustrated in various ways in this volume, as well as a look at the illustrations Leo and Diane Dillon have done for some of Ellison's paperbacks. OF those seven, "Croatoan," illustrated by Thomas Sutton, Alfredo Alcala, and Stephen Oliff; "The Discarded," illustrated by Thomas Sutton; and "Shattered Like a Glass Goblin," illustrated by William Stout, are close to traditional comic book versions of the stories, although I want to be perfectly clear that you are not going to find any word balloons within these pages. The rest of the stories consist of different types of accompanying illustrations. For "Deeper Than the Darkness" Wayne McLoughlin provides a sense of the setting for the story with his illustrations while Ralph Reese captures some of the key moments of "Riding the Dark Train Out." Finally, "I'm Looking for Kadak" finds the multi-eyed alien Jews brought to life by Overton Loyd's compelling blue drawings.

Overall the collection is very much hit and miss, simply because for so many of the stories the illustrations are not only unnecessary, they really add nothing to the telling of the tale. The exception that proves the rules are the wonderful illustrations Steranko provides for Ellison's most celebrated tale. These high sytlized and symbolic illustrations also happen to work really well in 3-D. Alfredo Alcala's inking of Thomas Sutton's pencils does an excellent job of capturing the eerie mood of "Croatoan," while Sutton's solo work on "The Discarded" plays to the artists strength for drawing mutated monsters....

Personal Note: I have autographed copy 524/3000 and sometimes I can see how the ink lines sort of look like the name "Harlan Ellison." Read more ›
