Review
Cute hilarity from artist Scott Campbell, who renders famous combatants from movie history (Indy versus Arab swordsman! Good versus Bad and Ugly!) in delightfully good-natured style. He gets bonus points for wit — the depiction of the Waiting For Guffman cast facing off against a chair is genius — and there’s a foreword by Neil Patrick Harris, who later features in the book, staring down himself on a unicorn.
