Dexter's Laboratory #19

The cover of this March 2001 DC/Cartoon Network issue tells the whole story at a glance — a gigantic, wide-open mouth dominates the image while a tiny, wide-eyed Dexter finds himself precariously balanced on a spoon heading straight toward it. Bill Wray's cover art perfectly captures the show's knack for blowing everyday objects up to absurd, menacing proportions. With interior work from writer Bobbi J. G. Weiss and artist Chris Savino, this issue looks like a delightfully silly adventure for the pint-sized boy genius.
