"Starless Troopers" is a sharp, satirical dive into the absurdities of modern life, from office politics to therapy sessions, all drawn with the signature wit of Dave Berg. With his distinctive style on every page, Berg skewers everything from bureaucracy to relationships in this 1998 issue, while Tom Bunk and Mort Drucker deliver a delightfully over-the-top cover that captures the story’s sardonic spirit.
