- Adventure Strip Digest<\/em><\/strong> was reviewed in the March 5, 1997 issue of the Tufts Daily<\/em>, the campus newspaper for Tufts University in Massachussets. The reviewer states that the “sparse yet action style conveys physical action quite effectively and almost cinematically.”<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Rob Hanes<\/strong><\/em> creator Randy Reynaldo was featured in sidebar article in the February 1997 issue of Sci Fi Universe<\/em> magazine (Volume 3, Issue 5). The issue also includes a review of Adventure Strip Digest<\/em><\/strong> where reviewer James Lowder called the book “a refreshing change from the usual superhero fare and a damned good read… Reynaldo is one of the few creators keeping alive the glorious adventure strip tradition.”<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The original 1990 independent comic-book Rob Hanes<\/strong> <\/em>distributed by Brave New Words was featured as a trivia item in the Comics Buyer’s Guide<\/em> Price Guide included in CBG<\/em> #1168 (1996).<\/li>\n\n\n\n

- Adventure Strip Digest<\/em><\/strong> received a glowing full-page review in Diamond Distributors’ Previews<\/em> catalog in November 1994. Featured in a regular column entitled “Under the Reading Lamp,” the review describes Rob Hanes as “equal parts James Bond, Marty McFly, Jonny Quest, and Peter Parker, [and] as compelling a main character as any in alternative comics. And because he’s got a personality\u2014not just an attitude\u2014he’s considerably more accessible than most super-powered characters and\/or their alter egos. Exposition is brief, leaving plenty of room for his crisp, linear artwork.”<\/li>\n\n\n\n

Past Quotes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
“Ask the pros about Randy Reynaldo’s Rob Hanes Adventures <\/strong>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.” \u2014Tony Isabella, Comic Buyer’s Guide<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n“Randy Reynaldo’s black-and-white rendition of his soldier-of-fortune hero’s escapes has been one of the industry’s quietest treasures. \u2014R.C. Harvey, Rants’ N Raves, Comic Buyer’s Guide<\/strong><\/em> (Dec. 2000)<\/p>\n\n\n\n“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!” \u2014Diamond Dialogue<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n“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.” \u2014Kurt Busiek (writer\/creator of Astro City<\/strong> and Shock Rockets<\/strong>)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n“In the great tradition of Milton Caniff and Roy Crane, the world of Adventure Strip Digest<\/strong> 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!” \u2014Karl Kesel<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n“A post-modern Jonny Quest.” \u2014Diamond Dialogue<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n“A good read set in a genre that is rarely explored in today’s comic market.”\u2014Indy<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n“Told in an exciting good natured style that will remind you of master storytellers like Will Eisner, Milton Caniff and Alex Toth.”\u2014Tony Isabella, Comics Buyer’s Guide<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n“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<\/strong>.” \u2014Previews<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n“If you like exotic locales, heavy chiaroscuro inking and snappy dialogue–check out Adventure Strip Digest.” \u2014cat yronwode, “Fit to Print,” Comics Buyer’s Guide<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n“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.” \u2014Factsheet Five<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n“Equal parts James Bond, Marty McFly, Jonny Quest, and Peter Parker, Rob Hanes is as compelling a main character as any in alternative comics.” \u2014Previews<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n“Randy Reynaldo’s stories are fast-paced. Exposition is brief, leaving plenty of room for his crisp, linear linework\u2014clearly inspired by later Caniff, or Batman Adventures’ Mike Parobeck\u2014to convey the action.” \u2014Previews<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n“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.” \u2014Teri Wood, Wandering Star<\/strong> #8<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n“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!” \u2014Mark Wheatley<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jump to: Most Recent \/ Archived Coverage and Reviews \/ Past Quotes Most Recent Archived Coverage and Reviews Randy Reynaldo Interviewed in Comic Book Marketplace […]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wcgcomics.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/700"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wcgcomics.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wcgcomics.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wcgcomics.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wcgcomics.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=700"}],"version-history":[{"count":61,"href":"https:\/\/wcgcomics.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/700\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3699,"href":"https:\/\/wcgcomics.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/700\/revisions\/3699"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wcgcomics.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=700"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
