Congo Bill #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeVertigo's 1999 reimagining of the classic jungle adventurer kicks off with this striking opener — Richard Corben's cover art dominates with a massive, roaring gorilla looming over a dense tangle of jungle foliage, while three armed figures crouch warily in the undergrowth below. The tension between that primal, snarling beast and the weapons-ready humans sets an immediately grounded, dangerous tone for Scott Cunningham and Danijel Žeželj's mature-readers series. "Book 1: The Message" promises the kind of wild, unpredictable storytelling that made Vertigo the go-to imprint for adventurous comics in the late '90s.

He heads to Zaire with his 3-person mercenary team but as they prepare to head off to the Mugunga refugee camp, DuPaul gets another jolt when they lose communication with it and he receives a personal note with the words "I wait" on it.
