Synopsis

Yes, you read right, it's the classic film rendered into comics form by an art team that will do it justice. Faithfully rendering the slimy scales and talons of terror of the "Gill-Man," penciller Art Adams is packing so much detail into every page that he had to draw it on oversized art board. 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. The explorers capture the mysterious creature, but it breaks free. The Gill-Man returns to kidnap the lovely Kay, fiancée of one of the expedition, with whom it has fallen in love.
