| Publisher Description: In the fourth volume of Fantagraphics' Captain Easy series, our eponymous hero and his loyal sidekick Wash Tubbs answer a newspaper ad that they don't know is years out of date, and wind up stranded in Guatemala with a busted landing gear and only five dollars to their name. Whoops They need all their wits and ingenuity to get them out of this fix. Which they manage to do by the skin of their teeth, only to stumble onto a lost city in the jungle. Lost cities in the jungle are never good news, and so it is with our two boisterous heroes. Against all odds, they extricate themselves from this dastardly peril and head for home on a ship carrying tigers (Roy Crane loved to draw tigers). They're out of danger, right? Wrong What kind of a Captain Easy adventure would this be without our boys getting stranded on a desert island and encountering the beautiful but savage Wolf Girl (Crane loved to draw Wolf Girls )? Don't miss the last volume of Fantagraphics' glorious reprint of Roy Crane's full color Captain Easy Sunday pages. |
