    Bonus Section: 2005 Reprint Commentary from Wyatt Ferguson! Cartoon Violence

    For a series so full of swords and axes, there's remarkably little
    blood. There are a few possible explanations. (1) Super-powered aliens
    don't bleed the same way we do. (2) Good swordsmen make a point of not bleeding. (Just like good boxers make a point of not being hit.) (3)
    Artistic license on the part of Powernaut Comics. I've seen Marvel
    Comics show a lethal hole blown right through a hero, with no blood.
    Maybe it was cauterized. But I'm inclined to say, cartoon violence.
