Summary

In the first story, "Ten Thousand Years in Hell", Tillieux serves up a rollicking, comedic South American prison-escape yarn as Jordan and his assistant Crackerjack, who have followed a case all the way to the banana-republic of Xique-Xique, end up in dire straits. The second story, "Boom and Bust," finds the duo's countryside jaunt turned into an ad-hoc investigation by a spectacular vehicular washout and a suspiciously noisy enclosure. Tillieux's masterful graphics reminds the readers why he was considered one of the top Franco-Belgian cartoonists of the time.
