Badger #85 (8)

In "Cockroaches," Ham’s lucky win at the International Ginseng Exchange sets off a chain of bizarre events when General Foom and his henchman Steen try to steal the mystical ginseng root. The stakes rise when Shoshonna Leungshaire takes it for her own purposes, unleashing the Manroot monster in a desperate bid to separate her Siamese twin sons. Written by Mike Baron and illustrated by Mike Murphy with inks by Mark Stegbauer and colors by Ben Cocke, this 1997 Image Comics issue blends surreal humor with escalating tension, all framed by a cover by Murphy and Stegbauer.
