Noah, Donald and Solorio, having rescued the rest of the children kidnapped by the ruthless gold prospectors of the Palombian rainforest, have escaped up the Boavista River, despite the rumours of terrible danger in that region. One evening, frightened by, yet drawn towards, demented laughter in the distance, they discover a lost temple, and at its top, a mysterious light. Worried about them, the Marsupilami soon joins them again – and not a moment too soon …

What can you expect from this series but the usual visual and other gags as well as a degree of action that is comedic. The colour and art is something that ought to entertain any child...or adult with a penchant for a silly yellow, spotted animal that can be chaotic at times. Like all the Marsupilami (and other books) series this will be passed along to my great nephews and niece along with a warning to "never enter the comic book business"!
Nice to think that children are able to currently get comic albums in the UK (if not created in) and have some fun. The actual "UYK comics biz" has failed them dismally with the exception of Cinebook which IS a UK company.
