Credits Grade: 8 R.E.H Stands for Robert E. Howard, a pulp writer in the 1930s. This series of matchbook comics is a kind of an autobiography. In this particular issue, R.E.H is wondering about his fellow writers living in big cities, while he is in a more rural, isolated area, and he wonders why he is in touch with them.Writing should be more about conveying life and the hard truths about life. While I disagree with the implied idea that living in a big city makes you less authentic of a writer than someone in the sticks, I do get the attitude. Nevertheless, Robert is making a stronger point about being more into life, than being focused on grammar and he includes himself in that critique. For a matchbox sized comic that seems simple both in writing and in the penciling, it felt bigger and richer and that was pretty satisfying. Written: April 25, 2015
