Summary: Great modern revival of 30's pulp sci-fi jungle adventure.
Comment: Jim Silke creates a masterpiece of comic book art with his series "Rascals In Paradise," re-printed in a high quality magazine-size beautifly painted graphic novel. Set in the far future. The galactic government creates a world of the past, so that those who seek adventure can have an outlet for their energies. It is supposed to be a replica of Earth in 1932. However, the computer fouls up, and the planet is covered in a crazy-quilt of jungles, deserts, and ancient civilizations. Dubbed "Trash-9", this fantasy planet becomes even more appealing to adventurers who find the company of beast men, cannibals, and other barbarians a welcome alternative to the daily 9-5 humdrum. (Hey, it puts role playing games to shame!) The story centers around Dorine "Spicy" Saunders, an aptly-named spunky blonde that travels to the planet to join her deceased father's mercenary unit. With (or rather, on) her is a map that leads through the jungles to a hidden treasure. She is determined to fufill her quest, even though this means battling sky pirates, savage apes, seductive redhead preistesses, and the sexual harassment of her fellow "rascals." If you ever liked Conan, Tarzan, Buck Rogers, or other early pulp adventure stories, (Not to mention pretty girls in leapord skin bikinis)this is an excellent ressurection of the genre. I highly recommend it! ( Ben Bridenbaugh - [email protected])
