 Bacchus #53 Review - Silver Bullet Comics   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Now that Eddie Campbell has concluded both reprints and new material for his eponymous character, the title of this comic is something of a misnomer…there's no real prospect of Bacchus coming back as a regular strip, so, as the months go by this one looks more and more like just a vanity press offering.
Closing off the issue is the back cover reprint of a 1997 piece of work, "The Devil's Footprints", part 1 of a 5-part re-interpretation of the old ballad, Widdicombe Fair.
You really have to be a devoted fan of Campbell's to get something out of this issue, don't buy it on the strength of his From Hell or Bacchus books, buy the collected editions of those two instead.
