Critters #39

Critters #39 brings J. P. Morgan's Fission Chicken front and center — literally trapped inside a churning, bubbling cylinder while a cast of wonderfully bizarre robot and creature characters look on from the edges of what appears to be some kind of mad-science compound. The cover teases a story called "The Homogenization Ray," and Morgan's loose, energetic linework sells both the chaos and the comedy perfectly. If you have a taste for anthropomorphic absurdity with a sci-fi twist, this 1989 Fantagraphics issue delivers that vibe right from the cover.
