![]() ![]() From that limited exposure, I get the feeling this Lobster Johnson collection is pretty darn authentic to the classic style. My exposure to authentic 1920’s and 1930’s pulp novels is obviously somewhat limited given our current time frame, but I have read a few stories of The Shadow and I grew up with science fiction comics that clearly had influence from the original pulps. It’s easy to see how Hellboy got so caught up in the stories when there is so much action and adventure to be had, it’s also easy to see how Lobster Johson has influenced Hellboy’s sense of doing what is right and looking after those who need help. Lobster Johnson, long a hero to Hellboy, has remained somewhat an enigma… is he real or just a story? Lobster Johnson Omnibus Volume 1 HC presents a collection of Lobster Johnson stories to enjoy while you consider whether he is real or simply a comic within a comic. ![]()
