Lujosos cómics que rescatan historias clásicas dedicadas monográficamente al dibujante Fuentes Man. Para algunos, una edición de lujo de El Capitán Trueno. Fuentes Man no tan sólo ilustró los mejores guiones de El Capitán Trueno, sino que a él se deben una serie de episodios que por su similitud temática forman unos pequeños ciclos (las aventuras de Goliath, diplomático, y las de Crispín, Birgit y el perro «Wolf»). Son pequeñas joyas que esmaltan de tanto en tanto la serie; en ellas el sentido del humor, una fina ironía y esa simpatía que Víctor Mora sabe dar a sus personajes, brillan con luz propia, envueltas en las bellas imágenes de Fuentes Man.
