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.
In "Some Say There's a Baron In the Woods," Coyote, Badger, Ham the Weather Wizard, and Daisy Fields navigate a tense reunion as old wounds surface and new threats emerge. When Slash, Ham, and Tally go after Amok for a deadly attack, the past catches up in ways no one saw coming.
In "The Left Stuff!" from *Coyote Collection #5*, Coyote, Slash, and Tally journey to Russia to confront those responsible for Slash’s transformation, only to find themselves ensnared by Comrade Josef Braditov, who tortures the Shakovskys in a desperate bid for information. As the Shadow Cabinet hunts Lizette for her blasphemy, Coyote God is captured, and the planet faces dual threats from the Venusians' invasion and the Djinn’s mobilization of the Hashishin—pushing Scorpio Rose to finally act.
In "Flyin' United!" from Coyote Collection #5, the unlikely trio of Coyote, Scorpio Rose, and Djinn must stop the Shadow Cabinet’s plan to replace Reagan with a clone, navigating betrayal, illusion, and chaos as the line between ally and enemy blurs. When halfdome’s desperate act backfires in a shocking twist, the fallout reshapes alliances—and unexpected connections—among the team.
