OPERATION EARTHWORM

by Joe Archibald

Septimus Spink didn't need to read Jules Verne's “Journey to the Center of the Earth.” He had more amazing ideas of his own.

Here he is again, the irrepressible Septimus Spink, in a tale as rollicking as an elder giant juggling the stars and the planets in his great, golden hands and laughing mirthfully as one tiny world -- our own -- goes spinning away from him into caverns measureless to man. With specifications drawn to scale, Joe Archibald, whose versatility with the quill never ceases to amaze us, has managed with slangy insouciance to achieve a rare triumph over space and time, and to aureole Spink in a resplendent sunburst of imperishable renown.
