Buster Crabbe #10
In "The Swim For Life," Buster Crabbe takes on a perilous rescue mission when his friend, swimmer Esther Robert, goes missing after a plane crash in the Mato Grosso. Tracking her down, Buster discovers her held captive by a rogue white man ruling a remote native village, where he’s set to be sacrificed to a fearsome green gorilla. With courage and quick thinking, Buster overcomes the beast and escapes with Esther, sparking a violent reaction from the enraged villagers. The story, illustrated with dynamic energy by Mike Roy (who both pencils and inks), captures the adventure and tension of a classic pulp-era tale.
