Just ask inker Terry "Flirting with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome" Austin -- this book will make your eyes bleed! A classic unto itself, don't miss out on this instant collectors' item created by a true dream team of comics art legends.   A scientific expedition searching for fossils along the Amazon River discover a prehistoric Gill-Man in the legendary Black Lagoon.
