Giant Days #48

Wide-eyed and visibly alarmed, a young woman in a burgundy dress clutches her own hair to her face like an improvised mustache, surrounded by a wall of framed portraits displaying nothing but mustaches and hair silhouettes — it's a deeply strange and perfectly charming image that captures Giant Days at its most delightfully off-kilter. John Allison and Whitney Cogar bring their signature warmth to this 2019 BOOM! Box series, with Max Sarin's cover art setting up whatever gloriously awkward situation awaits inside. If you've been looking for a comic that finds genuine comedy in the small absurdities of everyday life, issue #48 makes a compelling case.
