Reactions and Reviews

'Tombstone Blues' and 'When All Else Fails' are good but not up to par. [1]

"Tombstone Blues", less a story than a short meditation on The Blue Knight, Death and the Devil. [Melanie R] knows her people, though, and respects the language; the thing works. [2]

"Tombstone Blues" is not up to Melanie's usual quality; it is a bit rambling and aimless, even for a vignette. [3]

Tombstone Blues — I'm glad to see that someone noticed that dear Captain Dobey is a person, not just a spare character; The illo by Ms. Huff is fantastic! [4]

Blues is exceptionally interesting for its insight into the Dobey character, even though it is also about the S&H relationship -- but from the outside. [5]

Tombstone Blues - Yes, this one was long overdue. I'm afraid I too an guilty of overlooking Dobey. I find my attention centered on our daring duo, and a fairly large amount on Huggy Bear. In my opinion, that man is too often shuttled to the background, except for his role in One Small Corner. [6]
