Review:
As always, the Graphic Classics folks do a great job of pairing artists and writers to really bring out the essence of a story. The book opens with an adaptation of Zane Grey's ''Riders of the Purple Sage,'' a straight-up horse opera and a good one, and also includes the vaguely supernatural ''The Right Eye of the Commander,'' by Bret Harte, and an over-the-top Robert E. Howard tale of the big, dumb guy who sets everything right, ''Knife River Prodigal.'' There s a nice blend of styles and stories, and not a clunker in the bunch. --Brigid Alverson, Comic Book Resources

The selections in this volume of Graphic Classics are marvelous. The anthology format allowed the editors to pick a variety of stories that show how varied the Western genre can be. There are tales of action and vengeance and romance; tales of humor and horror; melancholy tales, and tales that touch on the spiritual. Thematically, this volume has something for everybody... Western Classics belongs on the shelf of every Western fan as well as every fan of well-told stories. --Penny Kenny, Comics Bulletin

I always brag on the Graphic Classics anthologies, but Western Classics: Graphic Classics Volume Twenty may be the best yet. Maybe that's because I've never read much Western fiction, and was delighted to be educated by comics adaptations of Zane Grey's ''Riders of the Purple Sage,'' Robert E. Howard's ''Knife River Prodigal,'' Bret Harte's ''The Right Eye of the Commander'' and other rip-snortin', leather-slappin' barn burners. As ever in Graphics Classics, the artists range from anywhere from cartoony to photo-realism, from line art to watercolor, but never disappoint. Even this big-city tinhorn managed to stay straight in the saddle to the very end. --Andrew A. Smith, Scripps News
