Description
Having a Wild Weekend, Part 3: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest / Part 21: Losing Control / Part 8: Rise and Shine / Dying in Paradise
Part 3: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - It's mutants vs. madness! The craziness continues as Captain Britain faces a couple of his most unlikely foes. And, if enemies aren't enough, whai till you get a load of the Captain's awesome allies! It's enough to drive anyone over the edge!
Part 21: Losing Control - Well, gang, you don't really think we can re-cap twenty chapters in three or four sentences, do you? Of course not. And anyhow, you've all been following the Panther's harrowing quest through South Africa, trying to locate his mother. - So what do you need with a re-cap? And to heck with those nay sayers who wonder if Terry Kavanagh and Don McGregor are in their rights minds for running a twenty-five-part serial. We have faith in you, gang. We know you aren't asking what those effendi without faith might ask (Why twenty-five?) to which Terry and Don answers, "Because it wasn't thirty?"
Part 8: Rise and Shine - Bent on rescuing Gina Dyson, the woman who brought him back to life, Coldblood returns to the false-Manhattan walled fortress - but not to the control of Mako. Unable to produce the promised cyborg for his masters (representative of multi-national corporations), Mako endures threats of exposure - and then blows their departing helicopter out of the sky...
Dying in Paradise - Prince Namor, the Sub-Mariner, revels in the sea and air. He can breathe in both, and move through both with ease. And since the oceans are his home he is never an accidental tourist in its chilled depths or its tropical colorful coral reef decorated inlets. He can play with sting rays and in such moments of respite from reminders of mankind and what he's lost in his own domain, Atlantis, he is free to thrill to the wonders of both ocean and sky. - But there are silent intruders in paradise!
