Liberty Meadows #28

Frank Cho's Liberty Meadows returns with issue #28, and the cover sets a playful, energetic tone: Brandy sits perched atop a tree stump in a "Beltsville" t-shirt while a wide-eyed Ralph looks on in shock, and a peculiar purple dragon-like creature lounges at her feet. The cover teases "Ralph's Genetic Breakthrough" under the banner "DNA A-Okay!," hinting at the cheerful scientific mayhem that awaits inside the story "Hike!" Cho's fluid linework and Brett Evans's bright colors make this 2002 Image Comics issue a delightful snapshot of Liberty Meadows at its most charmingly absurd.
