Reactions and Reviews
The "Sell-out" ended very much like "The Guilt Complex" by Randall Landers, published in CAPTAIN'S LOG, VOYAGE TWO. I'm a bit curious whether or not you had any influence on the ending. [No, I didn't. The story was printed almost verbatim from Tom's manuscript. - ED.] The artwork needs a good bit of improvement. [1]
Thomas Harden's "The Salos Sell-out" was a bit abrupt. Instead of playing scenes to the hilt, Tom jumped from scene to scene. The story was fine, but more characterization was needed. More explanation was also needed on what Spock was doing in the archives. Really abrupt ending had too simple a solution. [2]
Thomas Harden's "The Salos Sell-out" -- Predictable. Too much dialogue with very little description. This seems as though it may have been a script at one time. [2]
