Is this resurrected survival story a worthwhile purchase?  Read on to find out.

The official description from Dynamite:

The time is now. A Military helicopter crash lands in a remote valley in Africa. A lone survivor awakens with no memory of who he is or what he was doing there, but he’s wearing a uniform and is a skilled combatant. From the wreckage he learns only his name — ROGER DRUM. As he explores his new surroundings he is confronted by a bizarre lost world of dinosaurs and other strange creatures. Drum must learn to survive in this terrifying new reality while coming to terms with fragments of a past he isn’t sure he wants to remember.

As a bonus, this over-sized issue also includes the original first issue with fantastic art by the one-and-only Frank Frazetta at no extra cost!

It’s never a good day when thing’s don’t go according to plan, but it does make for a rather fun comic adventure.  With the simple act of a helicopter crash, our main character is thrust into a literal interpretation of the “Land of the Lost.”  From dinosaurs to wild animals danger is everywhere, as our protagonist Roger Drum tries to gather up his wits and survive this bleak scenario.

Robert Place Napton offers readers a rather thin script that still yields a stylistically fascinating read.  The question of identity is paramount, as neither the reader or the main character fully understands who Roger Drum in fact is.  It’s this point in the narrative tissue of the story that really sells the dynamics of this little jungle romp while still grounding it in some semblance of reality.

Cliff Richards does an exceptional job on the art.  His thick but fine lines inform an aware world that fits the overall narrative quite well.  From the helicopter crash to a knife in the head, this art builds a solid foundation that will entertain readers from start to finish.

Thun’da #1 is a compelling comic book that’s over a bit too quickly, but will surely hold any readers attention.  Recommended.
