Written and illustrated by Steve Lafler, the series blends underground comix aesthetics with a narrative that defies easy categorization. This edition collects the latter part of the original run, further exploring themes of identity and transformation in a vividly rendered world.
In "Snakes Alive!", Coyote, Slash, and Tally venture into Russia to confront those responsible for Slash’s mutation, uncovering a web of betrayal and suffering tied to the Shakovskys. As Comrade Josef Braditov tortures them for information, the Shadow Cabinet moves against Lizette, while Coyote God is captured—setting off a chain of escalating threats from both the Venusians and the Djinn’s Hashishin. Written by Steve Englehart and illustrated by Chas Truog with inks by Frank Springer, colors by Petra Scotese, and letters by Tom Orzechowski, the issue’s cover by Kyle Hotz captures the tension of a world on the brink.
