Critters #5

Fantagraphics' Critters #5 arrives in 1986 with a wonderfully playful cover by Freddy Milton, depicting two anthropomorphic duck-like characters — one wielding a baseball bat, the other holding a flashlight — cautiously entering what appears to be a dimly lit attic. Across the wooden floor, a small bound figure sits tied up with rope, setting a mischievous tone perfectly suited to the story inside, "Where's Gnicky?" Milton handles both writing and art duties throughout, bringing a warmly cartoonish sensibility to this all-ages anthology series.
