All this sandwiched between a couple of great rock and roll guitar solos, a few surgical procedures, a crazy gun battle on land and air, Buck's one chance for the ultimate revenge, his soul in turmoil, all the chicks digging him, engineering synchronicity, pretty toilets, a human pickle, and a giant sombrero!

This volume reprints the 3-issue mini-series, plus a ton of extras: character files; unused covers; alternate ending; production designs from the unfilmed TV Movie; and a new interview with Banzai's creator Mac Rauch!

120 pages, $16.95.
