4-6Something Wickedly Weird series.
Stanley Buggles and the denizens of Crampton Rock--werewolf included!--are back. In Smugglers', Stanley, Daisy, and newcomer Mac, an allegedly "retired" pirate, discover a gold mine. Treasure finds Stanley and Daisy teaming up with the Darkling children to protect the mine from Mac's business associates. Mould's latest tales are rougher around the edges, but, as always, his comical-meets-macabre drawings convey the atmosphere nicely. Review covers these Something Wickedly Weird titles: The Smugglers' Mine and The Treasure Keepers.
