"Ask the
pros about Randy Reynaldo's Rob Hanes Adventures
and you'll hear comparisons to the works of Milton Caniff, Roy
Crane, and Frank Robbins. Globetrotting troubleshooter Hanes
is, indeed, carrying on the traditions of Terry Lee and Pat Ryan,
Captain Easy and Wash Tubbs, and Johnny Hazard." --Tony
Isabella, Comic Buyer's Guide
"Randy Reynaldo's
black-and-white rendition of his soldier-of-fortune hero's escapes
has been one of the industry's quietest treasures. --R.C.
Harvey, Rants' N Raves, Comic Buyer's Guide (Dec. 2000)
"Offers
a fast-paced story full of action and intrigue, and gorgeous
art that's reminiscent of
such greats
as Milton Caniff, Bruce Timm and the great Alex Toth!"--Diamond
Dialogue
"The sad
news is that only one person is doing classic high adventure
in the tradition of Milton Caniff, Frank Robbins and Roy Crane.
The good news is that Randy Reynaldo's terrific at it . . . Adventure
Strip Digest is a rare delight."--Kurt Busiek (writer/creator
of Astro City and Shock Rockets)
"In the
great tradition of Milton Caniff and Roy Crane, the world of
Adventure Strip Digest and Rob Hanes
is filled with snappy dialogue, sultry dames, and certain danger
in a world where a pratfall is only a panel away from a bottomless
pit! Too bad more people don't do work like this!"--
Karl Kesel
"A post-modern
Jonny Quest."--Diamond Dialogue
"A good
read set in a genre that is rarely explored in today's comic
market."--Indy
"Told in
an exciting good natured style that will remind you of master
storytellers like Will Eisner, Milton Caniff and Alex Toth."--Tony
Isabella, Comics Buyer's Guide

"Whoever
said that the classical, comic book adventure story--a la Caniff,
Herge, or even Barks - was gone hasn't seen a copy of Randy Reynaldo's
expressive, action-packed Adventure Strip Digest."--Previews
"If you
like exotic locales, heavy chiaroscuro inking and snappy dialogue--check
out Adventure Strip Digest." --cat yronwode,
"Fit to Print," Comics Buyer's Guide"
"Chances
are high you will fall for Reynaldo's stuff in a big way. Lots
of adventure and non-stop action from start to finish." --Factsheet Five
"Equal parts
James Bond, Marty McFly, Jonny Quest, and Peter Parker, Rob Hanes
is as compelling a main character as any in alternative comics." --Previews
"Randy Reynaldo's
stories are fast-paced. Exposition is brief, leaving plenty of
room for his crisp, linear linework--clearly inspired by later
Caniff, or Batman Adventures' Mike Parobeck--to
convey the action."
--Previews
"Not only
is Rob Hanes a cool comic with nifty artwork (that Rob is a hunk,
I tell ya!), but there's a radio show too! Well, sorta. At last
year's con Randy was selling a recorded tape of an actual radio
show written and performed and based on his comic. He played
it all day long, each and every single of the con at his table
next door to mine and instead of killing him after hearing it
over and over, I bought a copy. If ya write him, definitely ask
if he still has any tapes for sale. Great stuff." --Teri Wood, Wandering Star #8
"Adventure
Strip Digest is now one of my favorite comics.
I've gotten hooked on the story and art! When I read my last
volume of Wash Tubbs and Captain Easy, I thought I'd never
have that same hit of entertainment again. Now I want all your
other back issues...I read so few comics that I enjoy and my
pure thanks for adding one to the list!"-- Mark Wheatley
