Kid Paddle #3

The third volume of Midam's Kid Paddle arrives in Polish as Chłopiec apokalipsy — "Boy of the Apocalypse" — and the cover wastes no time setting the tone: a massive, bug-eyed caveman-like brute wielding a bloody axe dangles a terrified smaller figure by the hair above a pile of grinning skulls, while a wide-eyed Kid Paddle cowers nearby and his cap-wearing pal lies sprawled helplessly at the monster's feet. Midam's rubbery, anarchic artwork squeezes every inch of the red background with gleeful cartoon mayhem. If you're in the mood for gamer-humor chaos rendered with real comic energy, this 2002 Egmont Polska edition delivers it in abundance.
