Cryptozoo Crew, Volume 1 is a raucous, exciting, and more than a little satirical graphic novel following a handsome, brawny, gung-ho cryptozoologist and his stunningly beautiful not to mention ruthlessly resourseful wife. Together their voyages of discovery pit them against chupacabra, cave monkeys, carnivorous plants, skunk apes, yeti, and many more monstrous denizens of terrible jungles in which no man can bear to ask for directions and listen to the answer. Tongue-in-cheek humor, rip-snortin' black-and-white action, and a lighthearted nod to many pulp adventure comics in the past make Cryptozoo Crew, Volume 1 just plain fun cover to cover, and leave the reader hungry for more.
