AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'In this 16th title, Cairo Jim and his friends set out to stop Captain Neptune F. Bone in his greedy pursuit to dominate the world's total gold resources and save King Midas's daughter.

''Cairo Jim And The Sumptuous Stash Of Silenus' is a tale of gold, greed and gruesomeness set in Egypt, Greece and Turkey. Captain Neptune F Bone and his raven Desdemona stumble across Silenus in an olive grove in Greece. Legend has it that Silenus, half goat and half man, is the one who granted King Midas his power to turn anything he touches into solid gold. A plan immediately forms in Bone's greedy mind to procure the services of Silenus to help transform him into the wealthiest man alive.' (Publication summary)
