Critters #21

Fantagraphics' beloved funny-animal anthology hits issue #21 with a cover by Sam Kieth that's pure wild-west charm: a grinning, barefoot cartoon critter decked out in cowboy hat, sheriff's badge, and red bandana blazes away with two six-shooters while bullets zing past from every direction — and somehow that smile never wavers. Inside, J. P. Morgan handles every creative duty on "Marketing Experts from Beyond Part 3," making this a genuine one-person showcase within the anthology format. For fans of Fantagraphics' 1988 lineup, this is a fun, offbeat package from cover to contents.
