In Buz Sawyer: Sultry’s Tiger, World War II has ended. Hotshot pilot Buz visits his old alma mater and spends time with glamorous Tot Winter and girl-next-door Christy Jameson, and finally finds the perfect job as a troubleshooter for International Airways, flying to trouble spots all over the world. He encounters Sultry, the beautiful and dangerous woman he met on a Japanese-held island during the war, with fatal results for a major character in the strip. Then, he travels to the arctic to stop the Mad Baron, an insane ex-Nazi trying to shoot down International Airways planes. And — in the only adventure to combine the daily and Sunday story lines — he teams up with his old pal Roscoe Sweeney to discover a fabulous ancient Mayan treasure. In the last adventure in this volume, Buz is kidnapped and flown to Africa by mysterious assailants. But wherever Buz Sawyer goes, a pretty girl is sure to follow...

Review:

“Good Lord, but Roy Crane could draw.”
- Steve Duin, The Oregonian

“[Roy Crane] is a treasure. There is still no one around who draws any better.”
- Charles Schulz

“Roy Crane did adventure with a beautiful combination of cartooning and storytelling. Every panel was an entertaining panel, with something to look at. When you combine his storytelling ability, with or without balloons, with his action and those great panels, you can’t fail.”
- John Severin
