Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency: The Salmon of Doubt #1

Douglas Adams' beloved eccentric detective gets a fresh IDW outing in 2016 with The Salmon of Doubt, and this opening issue sets a wonderfully strange tone right from the cover. The art by Ilias Kyriazis shows a bearded man seated in the foreground, seemingly lost in thought, while his imagination conjures two vivid scenes: a thoughtful, yellow-jacketed Dirk Gently surrounded by a chaotic wall of notes and red string, and a small, cloud-haired figure engrossed in a book. Writer Arvind Ethan David launches "Chapter 1: Can't Go Home Again" with this visually playful promise of interconnected mysteries and the holistic detective's charmingly unconventional approach to, well, everything.
