Owner's Description
Boy - we're only two issues into the DC run and already this blonde needs to be rescued twice, first from cultists and now from a Nile crocodile. This is totally the bigger threat. I mean, seriously, they don't even chew their prey, they just kind of rip it up and bury beneath an underwater log until it is loosened up enough to eat easily. According to my guide while rafting on the Zambezi anyway. I assume he's right - he lives there. No background, just that angry red field. But, I do have to say at sunset, sometimes, the African sky looks that angry. Just a little anyway. What a great action shot - I'm totally satisfied that the croc's head is as long as Korak's arm and the stabbing motion and holding on while fighting the croc, good stuff. The diagonal really implies strong movement, and the splashing added in as well as blondie's look of fear sell the scene. One of my guide's pushed another one of my guides into the shallow water at the edge of the Zambezi and the look in his eyes was a lot like that. Oh they got big. No fighting in front of the tourists though.
Actually, I really like this red/green/blue cover for it's simple yet detailed rendering.
Overall, totally worth my 20 cents. More now as an adult with experience in Africa than when I was young, but still, I think even then I would have taken it home off the spinner rack.
