CAVEWOMAN: PANGAEAN SEA #11
by Budd Root
The omnipotent Harmonzilla has come to obliterate a city with a death rate so
high the corpses are left out on the curb like garbage, and Cavewoman (with the
adorable face of evil), with her friends, are there to mop up whatever's left in
the wake of the great monster! Meanwhile, another Cavewoman(?!) enters the den
of the sexually stunning blonde witches, whose beauty is only eclipsed by their
bloodthirsty lust for power, violence, and human flesh! All this, not to mention
the immense, unconquerable King Klyde, make this, hands down, the greatest nail
biter in the history of Basement comics! We recommend gloves!
