Shellac Jones: River of Love

I’ll waste no time telling you about the plot because I’m still trying to figure out how I feel about this. Shellac Jones is a man who’s encased in shellac. A great adventurer, somehow, and someone who has been around for hundreds, if not thousands of years. A man finds him floating along the river and recognizes him, remembers the curse associated with Shellac Jones and decides to take him home anyway. It’s unique, I’ll give it that much. While the comic itself was pretty free from silly spelling errors, the front cover was full of them. Hard to get too down on it for that, but there you go. It’s the first of ten projected issues, so I have no idea where they’re going from here. Some of the dialogue was hokey, as you can undoubtedly see from the cover, but it works. I’m curious to see what happens next, and that’s all you can ask from a first issue. Great art too. It almost looks like a Disney cartoon, but in a good way. It’s $2.50 for this, send money to: Red Feather Flying Car, Co. P.O. Box 48582 Sarasota, FL 34230.
