Bohos #3

Issue #3 of Image's Bohos brings the offbeat, countercultural energy of Flypper Press's quirky series front and center, with creators Whorf & Waltrip delivering a cover that captures the series' distinct vibe perfectly. Beneath a colorful canopy — perhaps a café or street-fair setting — a pierced, heavily accessorized young man sits in casual contemplation, flanked by a pink-haired woman with a robotic arm who stands behind him and a blond figure at the edge of the scene, a small blue statuette resting on the table between them. It's a laid-back, character-driven snapshot that makes clear Bohos is doing something refreshingly different from mainstream superhero fare in 1998.
