Congo Bill #2
In "Book 2: The River," Congo Bill confronts haunting memories as he grapples with a past mistake that cost a mother her life—now echoed in the face of a boy he glimpses on a riverboat. As Guide Tshimumba recounts his traumatic journey guiding rebels to a slaughterhouse of gorillas, the tension mounts when Glass and his mercenary team are captured and brought before rebel leader Kabila. Written by Scott Cunningham and illustrated with striking detail by Danijel Žeželj, with colors by Lee Loughridge and letters by Clem Robins, the issue’s cover by Richard Corben captures the story’s grim, visceral tone.

Glass thinks back to his shame - a hit that had taken out its intended victim but also the mother of a nearby boy. Glass believes he sees the boy in the boat. Guide Tshimumba relates his account of how he was forced to guide rebel troops to a secret place where they could continue to slaughter gorillas. There Tshimumba escaped after watching soldiers being decapitated after being drawn up into trees. Suddenly the mercs, surrounded by troops, are to be taken to rebel leader Kabila. Glass attacks but is again distracted by a vision of the boy, and is recaptured.
