Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency #1

Douglas Adams' beloved holistic detective gets his own IDW comics series in 2015, and this first issue — "The Interconnectedness of All Kings" — arrives with a cover by Tony Akins that captures the delightful chaos perfectly. Dirk himself dominates the composition in his signature blue suit and red tie, surrounded by a swirling collage of the same curly-haired figure in various states of alarm, a snarling cat, a speeding car with headlights blazing, a helmeted figure, and a cluttered desk marked "FRAGILE." Writer Chris Ryall and artist Tony Akins look to translate Adams' wonderfully absurdist universe into comics form, and this cover alone makes a compelling case that the interconnectedness of all things has never looked so delightfully unhinged.
