CI207 A Wizard of Earthsea

Description

Following the success of their adaptation of the Lensman series, Classics Illustrated moved on to the story of Sparrowhawk, a young wizard learning his craft at the magical college on Roake Island. Here, he must overcome his own pride and temper if he is to achieve his destiny and become the greatest Wizard in all of Earthsea.

Okay, I'm a hard SF fan. I will read fantasy from time to time (heck, I spent more than a decade writing it!) but it's certainly second tier in my life. Hmmm. Actually, third tier...I prefer comics to swords and sorcery.

The exception, of course, are the first three books of the Earthsea saga. Okay, books 2 and 3 are not nearly as good, but they each have their own charm. In fact, I prefer these books to the Lord of the Rings. Just my own personal taste, no offense intended.

So, I hope this makes some of you smile. For my part, I think it's time for me to read this book again.

I never read any of the Earthsea stuff so it limits my ability to say something smart and insightful on this one.... aside from saying "nice magazine weathering" and that price sticker, with the puckers, is pretty neato!

BTW, apologies for the late reply(s). My mind has been elsewhere from DA, in the past week or two.
