Snarked #9
In "Fit the Ninth: The Lion and the Unicorn," Roger Langridge’s inventive storytelling and artistry bring the Bellman’s crew to Snark Island, where they face traps and meet the imprisoned Lion and Unicorn guarding King Russell. With Langridge handling every aspect of the interior art and lettering, and Lisa Moore’s colors adding depth to the surreal landscape, the team must navigate the king’s unexpected reluctance to return home—only to find their escape route vanished beneath a sudden, thick fog.

At last, the Bellman's ship reaches Snark Island. The Bellman, Butcher, Beaver, Walrus, McDunk, Rusty and Scarlett head ashore, evade booby traps and meet the chained-up Lion and Unicorn who are guarding King Russell. After liberating the Lion and Unicorn from their duties they find the king is quite content to remain on Snark Island and doesn't truly recognize his own children. The Walrus forces the king to depart, but they find fog has come in to obscure their ship and something has destroyed their landing craft.
