American Caper #2

The bold red, white, and blue graphic design of Tyler Boss's cover for American Caper #2 sets a wry, distinctly American tone — silhouetted figures fleeing a van, a man blowing a horn, a cowboy mascot, a syringe, and an American-flag vinyl record arranged like a chaotic dossier of small-time ambition gone sideways. Dan Houser, Lazlow, and David Lapham bring their chapter — "I'm Just Here for the Wings" — to this Absurd Ventures/Dark Horse series that already feels like it's having a great time with its own premise. If the cover's collage of colorful, questionable choices is any indication, issue two keeps the capers rolling.
