⭐ Series Highlights

  • Beau Smith Humor: Features the signature over-the-top action and comedy of Beau Smith (of Wynonna Earp fame).
  • John Cleary Visuals: Notable for Cleary's highly detailed, exaggerated, and "cartoony" art style that fit the 90s Image aesthetic.
  • Reprint Variants: Every issue in the 6-issue run famously received "B" variant reprints shortly after the initial first printings.
  • Underground Influence: While a mainstream Image book, the character and tone owed a heavy debt to weird, underground creature comics.
  • 90s Time Capsule: Represents the "anything goes" spirit of Image's early experimentation with non-superhero properties.
