Dexter's Laboratory #21

A tearful Dexter stands beneath a "FOR SALE" sign planted in front of his suburban home, looking utterly heartbroken in this 2001 DC/Cartoon Network issue. Bill Wray's cover art perfectly captures the boy genius at his most emotionally undone — lab coat, oversized glasses, and all — making it clear that something seismic is afoot in "The Big Move." It's a surprisingly touching image for a humor series, and it sets up what promises to be a very big day for Dexter and his beloved laboratory.
