comment |
The Eye of Mongombo is a comic book created by writer/artist Doug Gray in 1989.The plot: anthropology professor/adventurer Cliff Carlson had been cursed by a vengeful Witch Doctor named Jumballah, turning Cliff into... a duck.That's right.A duck.Joined by his assistant Raquel deFoyernote Lavoie in the 2020 revival and undergraduate intern Mick Moss, Cliff must seek out the legendary Eye of Mongombo while struggling against various antagonists such as his hostile ex-boss Norbert Nuskle (who stole Cliff's map to the Temple of Mongombo) and Hans Weltschmertz Gruber with his minions Boris and Kawliga. Also involved are a woman called Naomi who calls herself Yolanda who seeks to have Nuskle’s prize, drug dealer El Sapo, who joins Gruber, and MI6 agent Montgomery Hill.Most of the time, it's Played for Laughs.While the original comic, published by Fantagraphics, wound up being cancelled at issue 7, it has been revived in 2020 as a three-part graphic novel.The revived series can be found online here. |
