Wednesday Worlds of Wonder MERCHANTS OF VENUS Conclusion

Charming, rougish (yet honest) tour guide Audree Walthers is engaged by a rich couple to visit (hopefully) untouched Heechee archeological sites on Venus, hoping to find artifacts.
(The Heechee were the inhabitants of the planet, but none are currently known to be alive, so their cities and habitats are considered "abandoned" and legally-salvageble!)
Things take an unexpected turn when Audree discovers his clients are, in fact, totally-broke and hope to cash in on Heechee artifacts he'll lead them to.
But would that mean cutting him out of their contracted profit-sharing deal...
...one way or another?
Sadly, DC's Graphic Novel Series ended before a sequel, based on Frederik Pohl's then-ongoing Heechee series, could be developed!
If you haven't read it, you should...because the Heechee aren't gone!
