This fifth collection of Mark Crilley's multiple Eisner Award-nominated
series contains the complete "Bornstone Elixir" story from issues #26-31. Mr.
Beeba's mentor, Professor Lunderdorf, lies on his deathbed in the upside-down
city of Gollarondo. To save him, Beeba and the gang bring Akiko back to the
planet Smoo to help seek out the mythic cure-all known as Bornstone's Elixir.
This expedition serves as the backdrop for the burgeoning relationship between
Akiko and the Prince of Smoo, whose eagerness to develop a real connection
between them is hindered by the appearance of Kell. This dashing swashbuckler
offers to help them find the elixir, but can he be trusted? The Prince doesn't
think so, but then maybe he's just jealous. SC, 112pg, b&w
