Well worth the .50 I paid; if you can find this in the bargain bin, buy and read it. If not, that's ok. Danny Bulanadi does an always-professional art job. The publisher seems to have economized by choosing a particularly awful panel to blow up for a less-than-memorable cover. I will admit it's been a few decades since I last read I and II Kings, from which this is adapted. This, however, is in a long tradition of comics adaptations of the Hebrew Bible, and, as usual, is sort of like wearing bathrobes and turbans in a church pageant.
Chariot of the gods scene is ok, but this adaptation is less than awe-inspiring when it comes to the experience of the numinous.
I think this is designed for the basics of storytelling, but Ahab and Jezebel seem, like all good villains, to have more scenes than Elijah.
Is this company still in business?
