Review: Anne Bonnie #4

I have mentioned in previous reviews, that one of my favorite movies of all time, is The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance?,  an excellent movie starring John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart and lee Marvin. The film resonated with me from the first I saw it with my grandfather. When I saw it the first time, I just wanted to sped time with my grandfather and movies especially westerns were our favorites. He was a big John Wayne fan and watched all his movies and all his TV shows. He told when he used to act in the Philippines, he used to try to emulate Wayne in his mannerisms for many of his characters.

He said especially liked this movie, because instead of picking up acting tips, he actually watched this movie as a fan. This to me, after The Searchers, is one of Wayne’s best films, as the ain theme ring true, every time I watched it. It stays with me today, as the vanity of legend, is is what most people will remember about you long after you are gone. The truth is insignificant, as what becomes fact, is what most people remember the same way. In the latest issue of Anne Bonnie, Ariana’s sea worthiness gets tested as she runs into some real pirates.

The reader is introduced to the Bilgehart, as plunders another ship and sins its crew with no reprieve, and he is headed Ariana’s way. The crew pulls into a seaside town called Portville, which is overrun with semen and pirates. As Ariana and her crew gets entrenched in the local culture, they run in Bilgehart, who talks Ariana into finding buried gold with him. By issue’s end, Shen realizes that Bilgehart and Arian, might cross paths, and she may be making the worst mistake thus far.

Overall, a fun madcap episode which shows Tim Yates comedic chops, as this issue can easily be written for adults. The story by Yates is hilarious. The art by Yates is stunning. Overall, a funny issue, which remembers who their core audience is.
