Did a search on Tiki Central and didn't see anything about this in any other topic, so hopefully I'm bringing something new - looks like a cool new graphic novel with a tiki flair! Goes on sale in July from Slave Labor Graphics ...

From (and more info available at) http://www.tikijoemysteries.com/NewFiles/thebook.html

This 80 page graphic novel features two complete stories.

THE PAY OFF! Las Vegas, 1959. WWII veteran, Joe Halliday is enjoying the good life. Running Tiki Joe’s Restaurant, courting a beautiful girl and making time with stead-fast friends. It’s all good until the local mob moves in with demands for protection money. When the police are unable to help, Joe calls in a few old army friends. Together they decide to pay the mob off....in lead!

THE HIGH STAKES PATSY. When The Pop-Wheelies, an all-girl motor-bike stunt team, roll into Vegas, Tiki Joe’s becomes their favorite night spot. Joe couldn’t be happier. Especially when the teams leader, Veronica Chase, starts getting fresh. It’s high times in Vegas until things become suspicious. Who stole the Astor Diamond on display at a major casino, and why are the Pop-Wheelies leaving town so suddenly? Joe finds himself being their perfect alibi...and a high stakes patsy!
