Comment: Clark Ashton Smith's story is brilliant. Corben's artwork is B&W, because all gray scales he printed as dither computergraphic. Brilliant. All pages are named as "Seed 1", "Seed 2" etc. There is no nudity, but the girl is shown extra voluptuous all the way. No complain of Stan Dresser's colors.
