    The panels inked by Leialoha are fantastic. If this had continued in Adventure Illustrated or a similar format, it might've felt like an old time Fu Manchu-type serial. My memory is that is got integrated into the Coyote series with a lesser inker.

    I wonder if Ditko got the Indiana Jones assignment based on this stuff? It seems pretty similar.

    It twas in a black'n white called Fantasy Illustrated #1, and then we saw it colorized in Coyote, but all the Coyote back-ups cept this sucked raw eggs (change in inkers, and nobody quite nailed Ditko). Coloring, somehow, made everything worse
