Plot synopsis by Chronicle Chamber
After skiing on the ocean Diana and the Phantom become shipwrecked on an unfamiliar shore. After resting, the Phantom sets out in search of food. During this time a local tribesman has found Diana and taken her to the village. The Phantom follow the trail to the village where he is caught and imprisoned with Diana. Diana is then taken to be sacrificed to Kuma the swamp creature, who doesn't seem to be all that bad. Even so Diana contemplates plunging a sword through it's defenseless heart as it sleeps. After escaping, the creature once again catches Diana but then he helps her to free The Phantom. Is Kuma a nice swamp creature after all or does he have an ulterior motive to his actions? Just be sure to watch out for that Volcano.[1]
