☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Son of Shazam," Jo faces a crossroads between duty and desire when he’s pressured to return to his island home and marry Drupsa, the shaman’s daughter—despite his preference for a quieter life as a hotel porter. Written by Bill Woolfolk and illustrated with bold detail by Louis Cazeneuve, this 1949 tale blends myth and modern life in a story that’s as grounded in personal choice as it is in the fantastical. The cover, a striking piece by C. C. Beck, captures the island’s mystery with a timeless, dynamic flair.
Lance O'Casey and Mike Bellew find themselves caught in a jungle mystery when they encounter Longo, a reluctant porter at the Hotel Las Palmas, who’s fleeing an arranged marriage to Drupsa, the daughter of his island’s shaman. As the heat of the African interior presses in, Longo’s quiet defiance of tradition sets off a chain of events neither man could have predicted.
