Alley Oop versus the Black Knight #[nn]

Dave Graue's beloved time-traveling caveman finds himself in a very different kind of prehistoric predicament on this cover — clinging white-knuckled to a smoking, flame-licked biplane as a red triplane bearing an Iron Cross bears down on him from above. The collision course between these two WWI-era aircraft, rendered with energetic linework by Graue and inked by Dave Olson, sets up a matchup that's as wildly unexpected as anything *Alley Oop* fans have come to love. If you've ever wondered what a Stone Age strongman looks like tangled up in an aerial dogfight, this 2023 collection makes a compelling case for the answer.
