All True Romance #16
In "Easy Mark," ad executive Helen and her boyfriend Jay find themselves stranded on a remote island after a vacation in the Bahamas takes a dangerous turn. Taken prisoner by treasure hunter Mac, Jay pretends to abandon Helen to outwit their captor, while she begins to see the cost of her bossy ways. William Tewkesbury’s crisp art brings the tropical tension to life, both in the story and on the cover, where his distinctive inks capture the island’s isolation and danger.
