Dalgoda

Dalgoda is an alien protagonist from Jan Strnad and Dennis Fujitake's 1984 Fantagraphics series, navigating a science-fiction universe in stories that blend adventure and offbeat humor across multiple connected titles.

A product of the fertile independent comics scene of the mid-1980s, Dalgoda burst onto the page in 1984 courtesy of writer Jan Strnad and artist Dennis Fujitake, published by the ever-adventurous Fantagraphics. This Bronze Age original carved out their own corner of the comics universe across titles like Dalgoda, Flesh and Bones, and The Doomsday Squad — a range that speaks to a character with genuine creative ambition behind them. For collectors with a taste for the offbeat indie gems that made Fantagraphics such an exciting imprint in that era, Dalgoda is exactly the kind of discovery worth tracking down.
