Captain Easy, Soldier of Fortune, Vol. 3: The Complete Sunday Newspaper Strips, 1938-1940 by Roy Crane
The third volume in Fantagraphics ongoing reprint of Roy Crane 's legendary comedy-action series features what many consider the absolute peak of the series: Temple of the Swinks, in which Wash and Easy discover an ancient temple with statues of an unknown animal called a swink... a real-life specimen of which shows up

In other stories, Wash and Easy sail for Singapore aboard a dhow with a cargo of wild animals, crash land a plane on an island inhabited by (inevitably) pirates and (just as inevitably) beautiful women, and sail the South Seas in a schooner whose villainous captain plans to rob them. When they return to America, Wash Tubbs pet swink draws huge crowds and a reputation for being worth a million dollars. Then Wash and Easy travel to Peru to rescue an American lost in the jungle and, in the cover-featured story, Easy goes deep sea diving in search of a beautiful girl 's lost diamond.
