Captain Pugwash: The Quest of the Golden Handshake
The Briggs effect (in the footsteps of Herg$e, Goscinny and Uderzo) is making itself felt. On this page already we've had cartoon-influenced Colin McNaughton and David McKee, now John Ryan returns to the original strip cartoon form for his latest Captain Pugwash adventure in book form. It's the highly entertaining mixture as before with Pugwash bumbling and boasting, Cut-throat Jack trying to have his evil underhand way, and Tom the cabin boy sorting it all out. Do they find the lost treasure of the Stinkas? That would be telling!
