Brats Bizarre #3

Issue three of this Marvel/Epic "Heavy Hitters" series drops readers into a frenetic arcade-style showdown, with the cover depicting two otherworldly figures — a pale, mask-faced humanoid and a blue-scaled female — locked in a violent struggle amid a chaotic crowd that includes a blonde woman and onlooking bystanders. Inked by Colin Fawcett and Paul Scott, the cover crackles with the irreverent, boundary-pushing energy that defined Epic's edgier 1994 output. Writers Pat Mills and Tony Skinner's "Game Off" promises the kind of gleefully strange storytelling this series delivers, and the bonus Heavy Hitters trading card inside makes it a fun snapshot of the era.
