Alley Oop and the Mighty Kafrak #[nn]

The cover by Jack Bender sets up an intriguing tableau: a regal blonde woman enthroned in flowing robes and a golden staff holds court, while a bald, egg-headed figure in a futuristic suit faces her — and the broad, bare-backed silhouette of Alley Oop himself looms in the foreground, suggesting a tense three-way encounter with the titular Mighty Kafrak. Dave Graue and Jack Bender bring their signature blend of time-traveling adventure and offbeat charm to this 2025 Acoustic Learning collection, making it a welcoming entry point for fans of the long-running strip. The clean, boldly colored art has a warmth and personality that holds up beautifully on the page.
