Dexter's Laboratory #6

The cover of this 2000 DC/Cartoon Network release says it all: Dee Dee peers through a doorway with wide, startled eyes and a speech bubble pleading "Dee-Dee... please HELP MEEEE!!" while a pair of enormous, warty pink hands loom in the foreground — whatever Dexter has gotten himself into, it looks thoroughly unsettling. Cover pencils by series creator Genndy Tartakovsky, inked by Jeff Albrecht, capture the show's signature blend of cartoon panic and comedy perfectly. Inside, writer Dave Roman and artist Bill Wray bring the story "Chicken Scratch" to life, promising another chaotic day in the world's most secret laboratory.
