It must be almost 20 years since I read Bruno Brazil for the first time. First volume introduces us to Bruno Brazil, James Bond-like spy while trying to obtain the Nazi gold for his government from the jungles of South America.

Story is very much Ludlum-like (ex-Nazi's, subplots, assassins chasing each other for the money - everything is here :)) so it flows very naturally and is a great (albeit short - 48 pages) read.

Recommended for spy-fiction fans.

After shady organization tries to impose its will through pirate TV signal Bruno Brazil is called to handle the situation. To achieve the goal he creates a team (Commando Caiman) and goes after the criminals.

While there are elements here that are over-the-top at the time this was expected (and might seem outdated now). Team of ragtags no official likes (not unlike dirty dozen), Bruno Brazil as extremely capable team lead encountering crazy villain in the depth of the jungle.

Although use of TV as a hypnotic media might sound preposterous there are elements here that do have footing in reality - constant bombardment of information or suggestions through commercials come to mind, would not you agree - maybe hypnosis would not work on everyone in populace but very large number is susceptible to publicly spun stories.

So, in short story is again very Ludlum-sque but with elements of reality (it was interesting to see exclusion of one team member because he is not fit enough for task and limits to which some team members are ready to go to and casualties taken during the parachute infiltration - all the things that are not so common in comics).

Art as always is excellent, I am very much fan of William Vance's work both here and in XIII series.

Recommended for spy-fiction fans.

While enjoying their well deserved off-time Caiman team gets involved into events that look and sound very much like event from [b: Richard Stark’s Parker: The Score|14539948|Richard Stark’s Parker The Score|Darwyn Cooke|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1341795386l/14539948._SX50_.jpg|20182626].

While some of the equipment shown looks little bit too much SF story itself is rather grounded and sounds real.

Once again, good but short read. I am on a lookout for any additional issues I can find :)

Recommended to all fans of spy-fiction.

This volume concludes our hero's adventure in South America. Together with helping his revolutionary friends our hero finally learns about his families past - and what that means for him in present.

Interesting story, sets stage for next adventure back in USA.

Recommended to all fans of XIII.
