The Raven #8

Sep 1962 · Young's Merchandising Company · 1/- [0-1-0 AUP]
“The Dragon Men”

In "The Dragon Men," Sebastian, the Raven’s outlaw brother, crash-lands on a storm-lashed island after escaping Dartmoor Prison, only to find himself sheltering in a crumbling church—just as his brother arrives to rescue him. But with British officers closing in, hunting the Raven for crimes he didn’t commit, and a deadly band of Chinese assassins known as the Dragon Men now stalking the island, the truth behind the pursuit begins to unravel. Written and illustrated by Paul Wheelahan, this 1962 thriller from Young's Merchandising Company blends suspense and mystery in a tale that unfolds entirely on a remote, isolated shore. The cover by Paul Wheelahan captures the island’s eerie stillness, a stark contrast to the storm raging just beyond.

Having escaped from Dartmoor Prison, Sebastian, the Raven's outlaw brother, is flying a plane over the English Channel when a fierce storm forces him down onto a remote island. He then finds shelter in an abandoned church, the only structure on the island, and soon learns that his brother has arrived to rescue him. Not long after, two more men appear, British law enforcement, in pursuit of the Raven for crimes he's been wrongly accused of. But these men soon learn that Sebastian is also being pursued, by a band of Chinese assassins known as the Dragon Men, who have also arrived on the island.
