| In his interview Bernie Krigstein described finding the script of this book so stupid that he deliberately pushed the art over the top. Ironically some pages have more merit than BK intended.
He's right, though. This is the single most goddam weird script I've read in a comic book. The only one that comes close is another late Dell Four Color--#1301, "Adventures in Paradise"--which I'll bet was written by the same person. |

| A truly excellent TV series rendered into 99 Cents store long expired cat food. And what’s the deal on that drugged out she male with a mustache on the cover? Did they really think THAT was going to help entice people to buy this comic? |

The Odd thing is that this art looks more like Frank Springer than our Bernie.
I wonder if this was written by Don Segall - famous for the weirdness of Kona - monarch of monster isle - one of my all-time favorites actually!
Cheers! |
