Everyone has to make sacrifices now and then -- take Lieutenant Kellaway, for example. He's sacrificed his vacation to try to stop that all-powerful, green artifact, the mask, from corrupting more innocents. Or consider Eric Martin, current keeper of the mask -- he's sacrificed his entire life's savings, and likely his marriage, by heading to New Orleans to find his missing sister Jill. And then there's Bayou-born Papa Croc -- he's sacrificing Jill in an ancient voodoo ritual. Sure, maybe it's not as personal a sacrifice, but it's a sacrifice nonetheless!

If you're looking for bizarre fun, then look no further.

The Mask's arrival in Steel Harbor turns out to be more fun than a barrel of greased weasels! At least, that's what the Mask thinks. The Machine and Barb Wire aren't so sure, especially after Big-Head commits a major faux paus in front of Barb. Steel Harbor just might have to be renamed "shrapnelville," unless King Tiger and Dr. Snider can get to General Blaire, the man behind the Mask, before Barb does!
