On voit mieux dans cette livraison l'aisance de Campbell dans les jeux d'ombre et de lumière. La dernière case de la planche 27 notamment, qui montre le cab arrivant au niveau de Polly, est une splendeur, rehaussé sans doute encore par les jeux de lumière ajoutés pour cette édition, mais qui devait se suffire dans les planches en noir et blanc.
Moore ajoute par ailleurs ici les scripts inédits de plusieurs planches. On peut admirer sa vision et son sens de la mise en scène, et tout à la fois l'appropriation mais aussi, sans aucun doute, les "corrections" apportées par Campbell en fonction de la véracité historique - ainsi du nombre de chevaux à l'attelage ! -, mais aussi de la faisabilité. Il est amer de constater que les nombreuses nuances d'expression suggérées par Moore, tout bonnement inaccessible au dessinateur, sont éludées quand elles ne sont pas ratées.
L'ampleur du travail force un peu plus l'enthousiasme, malgré les imperfections graphiques. La lecture reste harassante néanmoins. En effet, si les notes bibliographiques commencent à s'amenuiser alors que Moore a cité ses principales références sur les deux volets précédents, les scripts, s'ils rajoutent à une lecture proprement exégétique de l'oeuvre, restent fastidieux, et exigent un vrai travail de reprise case à case pour être pleinement appréciés.
