A fun trip back to the '70s with the Angels.

This book does a great job of catching the spirit of the original series with just a bit of the campiness that seemed predominant in television at the time. The art serves the story, it's not flashy or particularly edgy but it gets the job done in fine form.

The year is 1978, Charlie's Angels are drawn into an international conspiracy involving Cold War espionage, exotic locations, and a great big dose of girl power fun!

Recommended for any fan of '70s nostalgia, Charlie's Angels, or just some old school fun.

***Thanks to NetGalley for providing me with a complimentary digital copy of this book for the purpose of review.

Charlie's Angels Vol. 1 has the look and feel of the old tv show. The characters ring true to the originals and the art is wonderful. The Angels take on a case that could have been on the show. Bad Germans want to take out President Carter. The Angels take on the evil devils, commit a few felonies, and manage to save the president. The dialogue takes you back to the show and the action keeps the story going as the Angels kick butt like only they can. I like the introduction to new Angels at the end and continuing story for the original Angels. The story is an excellent read for fans of the show and fun, fun, fun. My voluntary, unbiased review is based upon a review copy from Netgalley.

Perhaps not in the strictest traditions of comic book heroes but beautifully done and worthy of its own comic stories. Some 40 years later we welcome the three original female ass kicking trio. Charlie’s Angels that made teenage boys conscious of more aware of their hormones and teenage girls have truer roll models in a 70’s TV show that had three leading ladies.
The comic books remind us of a forgotten time of Cold War politics and when strong women were also portrayed as sexy sirens. Jill, Kelly and Sabrina are faithfully restored; drawn as women but they were always more than the some of their parts.
They had a degree of thought, bounced ideas off each other and demonstrated skills any man could achieve. But at a time when women were not always considered more than a pretty face and women could melt more easily into the background.
The action is non stop and the story although a little silly at times does not try to be modern, rather it captures the spirit of the TV series and carries the humour and good feelings it produced.
This is a clever and talent team that has brought the comic into our sphere of reading material and I still think it will appeal to all teenagers and the 55+ nostalgia fans like me.
Thanks to Dynamite @DynamiteComics for having the vision and the skills to produced both an interest piece but a wonderful homage to the 70’s. That you don’t take the process too seriously also helps capture a less stressful age.

A touch of nostalgia for the Seventies with the graphic version of the original kitschy cultural phenomenon of Charlie's Angels. Fun, groovy, tongue-planted-firmly-in-cheek as stewardesses, secret agents, nightclub waitresses, and on to their most audacious situation ever. At times, you can almost hear the voices from the original tv show. Best of all was the multitude of bonus cover art.
