Russell Waterhouse, a manic millionaire with a death wish, drags his son, Hugh, to the dangerous corners of the Earth on a desperate hunt for the legendary Fountain of Youth. On the longest day of the year, both men will discover there's a reason the mysterious wellspring has never been found-and why its most noted seekers have all met premature ends. A whiplash tale of murder, mysticism, and myth by STEVEN T. SEAGLE (It's a Bird..., THE RED DIARY, Genius) and artist MORITAT (The Hellblazer, ELEPHANTMEN, All-Star Western) presented for the first time in color in this remastered edition.

From Booklist

Seagle and Norman created the first two parts of this slam-bang adventure several years ago. Then the publisher went bust. Luckily, Seagle knew where the story was headed. So when opportunity arose for this graphic-novel edition, and Norman succeeded in reviving his old black-and-white style, voila!--this tough-guy treasure hunt that makes The Treasure of the Sierra Madre look milquetoasty. When hard-driving multimillionaire Russell Waterhouse discovers he has brain cancer, he plunges into a frantic, grueling quest for the fountain of youth, which he believes can save him. As always, his son Hugh goes with him. As the book opens, Hugh is making a one-handed attempt to keep his father from falling to his death on the summer solstice in equatorial Chile. Hugh fails to save Russell, but after relaying the backstory in a tangle of crisscrossing flashbacks (kudos to Seagle for adroitly handling this complicated structure), Hugh discloses that the quest hasn't been fruitless. Ruthless, amoral, charismatic Waterhouse pere and his annoyingly nebbishy son are repulsive heroes, but heroes they turn out to be. Ray Olson
