"Children of the early Cold War who grew up with a pre-Spider-Man Ditko will find plenty to love in these restorations...

"To go into [Weathercraft] is like sticking your head deep in a witches' pot and letting your brain cook slowly. It is an attack that has the ability to flush from the visual into your other senses, it is like to smell and hear and above all feel with the eyes, synesthesia in cartoon form." – Janus Andersen, tegneseriesiden (translated from Danish)
