Cuthbert Robertson Ashe, bush pilot and outback hero or flying catastrophe? How does Ashe of the Outback bumble his way across a whole continent and through a whole story, causing total chaos and mayhem in his wake, and still end up as a hero of Australia? There is only one way to find out. Buy a ticket on CHAOS Air, Ashe’s own private airline, for a one-way journey to disaster with a capital D. In this graphic novel, reminiscent of the style of Asterix and Tin Tin and full of outrageous characters, slapstick comedy, jokes, puns and satire all served up with a good dose of Australian larrikinism, Captain C.R. Ashe reaches for the sky while his passengers reach for their sick bags.
