I enjoyed the story. I was back in the 70's with a show that I enjoyed so much. The author was well versed in the story lines from the show and used them to advance the plot of the book and weave them in and out. It was done in such a way that the person that had never seen the show could understand. The characters were true to there counterparts on the show. It was even a cute touch that they used the swear words that were written so they could swear but since they were made up words they got by the censors.
The artwork for the most part was quite good. It helped to move the story along. My only gripe was with the main characters. For the people not part of the main cast of the show, they were drawn fairly clear. Main cast however seemed to be drawn with features that seemed to be like they had their faces blurred after they were drawn. My guess here is that they could not get permission to use the distinct features of the actors so they muffled the features a little bit. It did take away some of the enjoyment of the graphic novel. I am hearing Lorne Greene, Richard Hatch, and Dirk Benedict in my head because I know them so well, but the pictures just does not go along with the voice, especially Mr. Green.
It was a nice trip back in time to when life was a lot different.
