Young Stud gains a new ally but has his prized bag snatched when he teleports into a new kingdom.The pseudonymous author barely nudges the main storyline forward but at least offers a fresh bevy of monsters in a new setting as he sends his reckless Swirl, a human boy, barreling through the jungle after a gang of bumbling nonhuman thieves-aided by a mysterious swaddled girl named Brymm with (natch) secret powers and an agenda of her own. Amid outsized sound effects, frequent exclamations of "crap!" and tangled, hard to make out action sequences drawn to extend invisibly far beyond the squared-off edges of the mostly monochrome panels, Stud battles past humongous turtle wolves, gator pigs, and other challenges on the way to a climactic brawl with hulking, scarred Jungle King Brutus Elefanté. He still doesn't get his bag back by the end, but no doubt he will in some future volume after walloping a few more foes with his outsized sledgehammer fist. The human or humanoid figures in this episode have varying skin tones and hair textures and colors in the rare full-color chapter-heads; most of the manga-style volume is in black and white.The pithy dialogue and punchy action, if not the plot, continue. (Adventure comic. 10-13)

In Hammer, Volume 3, our hero Stud has teleported to the Jungle Kingdom. After finding an ally from a previous adventure, his bag is stolen. Will it soon belong to Brutus Elephante, the Jungle King?

Soon after Stud arrived in the Jungle Kingdom, he was discovered and reported to the king as an intruder with Kingdom Maps, the most important treasure King Elephante had been looking for. Now with a target on his back, Stud continues searching for a way back home with an ally, Brymm, who has a strange request: she needs help saving her kingdom in the future. She continuously asks Stud, who can’t help because he’s trying to get back home.

However, once Stud’s bag is stolen from him while he’s having a vivid dream about his parents, he’s fearful of losing it forever and tries to retrieve it. Stud quickly realizes he can’t get it back by himself and enlists the help of Brymm, who still has an urgent request of her own.

Will he be able to retrieve it before it’s given to King Elephante, or will he be able to retrieve it before then? Will Brymm find the help she needs to save her kingdom? Learn the answers to these questions and more in this action-packed volume!
