STORY 2
"THE MOUNTAIN SECRET"
ISSUES 8-15
ARTIST:BRIAN LEWIS
WRITER:ALAN FENNEL
Led by Carlos Frangier, rebels have taken control of a small oil sheikdom.
Major Graham is strangely worried about the switch of power and asks the freewheelers to pose as tourists and get information.
They find that Sheik Kalif has stood down because Frangier is holding his daughter captive.
There is a secret behind the British involvement.
WOW!!! What a MASSIVE IMPROVEMENT this strip is on the previous strip!!!
I have no idea whether it captured the characters of the show better as have never seen the tv show but as a comic strip it's miles ahead of the first story. Genuinely enthralling, page turning stuff.
A really great strip, drawn by the legendary Brian Lewis of Tiger,Buster,Eagle,2000AD,Countdown ETC... fame.
One curiosity: Part 4,page 2,panel 4 depicts Sue in bra and knickers after swimming and seems to suggest stockings!
Obviously the artist would argue that this was shadowing but in reality is an amusing adult input that he deliberately placed for laughs!
