F.A.R.M. System #[nn]

A baseball dugout has never looked quite this strange — a catcher in full gear sits slumped on the bench beneath a pegboard display of distinctly non-regulation equipment: a trident, bladed weapons, a banjo, and assorted oddities that suggest this league plays by very different rules. Rich Koslowski's F.A.R.M. System blends the gritty atmosphere of minor-league ball with something far weirder, and this 2022 IDW graphic novel makes a compelling case that America's pastime has some serious competition.
