Lucifer's Sword MC: Life and Death in an Outlaw Motorcycle Club

When I first opened this publication I had to laugh. A comic Book? Really? This was not what I excepted. Phil has given us a story that fits the mold of the progression from hang-around to prospect to Patch Holder with a twist. Phil does it in a way that will make you cheer for the prospect and shake your head at the sometimes predictable conclusion. I found this something I wanted to share and the people I shared the thing with all but fought over their placement on the list on of who got it first. Buzz stole it from Bobby-T and that was the Last time I've seen the thing.Great job.Phil you surprised me. I'll bet this thing ends up in a Club house somewhere up North.

This is essentially a comic version of many of the events depicted in the author's memoir From Gypsy Joker to Hells Angel (one of the best biker books ever). I really like the idea of a biker comic that focuses on this era. The art is perfect for the story. My biggest gripe is that it was too short. The story was left with a cliffhanger that tells me there is more to come, but I wish it would have taken me longer than thirty minutes to read the whole book twice. Even so, the authentic story and top notch art make this well worth the time for anyone interested in the golden age of omgs.

Pretty cool, illustrated, comic-like book. Though it is not meant to be comical by any means; it is closer to an illustrated horror magazine for that matter (based on the content). Inside the front cover, the book is subtitled as: "Life and Death in an Outlaw Motorcycle Club" and so it goes. Based on a true story, it is well written and very well illustrated.

Awesome comic book. Very quick delivery.

didn't realize it was like a comic book, I bought for my boyfriend. He loved it!

too short with not enough content.

Guns, Girls and ExplosionsRonn Sutton’s fans know to expect a feast of images when they pick up one of his comics. His latest work certainly delivers on that. And this time, readers get a whole book, with 87 fast-paced pages.Sutton teamed up with author Phil Cross to create Lucifer’s Sword, the story of a Hells Angels dude named Frenchy. The book tells us about Frenchy’s time as a “prospect” who wants to make it into the group. He sees some typical biker action. And, amusingly, he also cleans a lot of toilets. The story has (of course) guns, girls and explosions, but all elegantly delivered in Sutton’s sharp, kick-ass drawings.Sutton brings his trademark style to the book, one that his fans will enjoy: interesting textures, unusual framing and intense attention to detail (look for time-period records, clothing, hair styles, brand names, and furniture) (and, if you know bikes, they are probably dead accurate, too). And, of course, the birds. I am always happy to see the birds.I loved this book. Not happy about the squirrel in it but I loved the rest of it.

I wish more comics were like this. The script is outstanding: Something significant and compelling is happening on every page. Dialog is terse yet believable, individualizing the characters and revealing the particular moral code of the biker club of the title.Tons of action, for high stakes. You may love these characters or not, but you won't wonder why a book was devoted to catching this moment in time (1960s) and you will care about what happens to them. Art is gritty, textured, to the point and effective. You can see that a lot of research was devoted to getting the period details right.Hoping for a sequel!
