There are no mutated monsters or frivolous filler the creative team does a great job respecting not only the story but the timeframe. Tynion takes precise caution with telling the Hills’ story with regard to their era.
While the first issue doesn’t do a quick deep dive into the Hills’ story it sets the table for a fabulous set of predecessors that will undoubtedly be just as creepy and fun.īlue Book #1 harkens back to the days of weird tales of EC or when comics had great ads for x-ray glasses and rockets that can reach the sky. How Blue Book captures their story is nothing short of a mix of Unsolved Mysteries meets Alfred Hitchcock, and I’m here for it! From Oeming’s art and layouts to Bidikar’s masterful, game-changing lettering, the delivery is creepy and moody fitting the story perfectly. Their story would go on to garner massive popularity in not only their time but continues to this day. The first installment centers on Betty and Barney Hill who claimed to be abducted in September of 1961. But if you needed any further incentive: Blue Book is a take on UFO abductions and the strangeness of their stories. Team them up and it becomes a no-brainer. James Tynion IV, Michael Avon Oeming, and Aditya Bidikar are reasons enough to grab any book off the shelf at your LCS.
