Tall Tails: Thieves' Quest #5

From the Random Stack of Unread Comics.

Title: Tall Tails: Thieves' Quest
Issue: 5
Date: November, 2001
Publisher: Dreamweaver Press
Writer: Jose Calderon
Artist: Daphne Lage

I reviewed #1 here, #2 here, #3 here and #4 here.

Following an encounter with a force of raiders, the cousins Ravenwood and Cromwell manage to escort the runaway Prince Christian to Garrison Hadge, the stronghold of Earl Hadge, the King's cousin.

Silvermain and Gabriel are dispatched to arrange passage on a ship, but they manage to find only trouble in the waterfront district.

This issue had a tighter focus than the previous one, and managed to get in some good little moments of character development, in spite of it being something of a transitional installment in the long-term story.

The ending scene was a nice cliffhanger, and the story continues to be spiced with some complex ongoing political intrigue.

Rating: 6/10
