Blunderbuss Wanderlust: And the Eras of his Ways
Written by David Shapiro | Illustrated by Christopher Herndon
Colonel Victor Von Vector has a blunderbuss gun with a peculiar recoil. When he shoots, he gets kicked back in time 600 million years. With each subsequent shot, Victor moves through geologic time, encountering beasts of the past and wandering through the varied environments that have colored Earth’s history. Using the Shakespearian sonnet as his means of record, Victor’s journey from the Cambrian through other time periods, and back to his own Edwardian time is presented in seventeen poems with seventeen illustrated plates. Extremely detailed art tells the story.

“If I can read a book where I can see a man with a wonderful bouquet of facial hair stare down a dinosaur while brandishing a blunderbuss and learn something along the way then I’m a happy reader.”
