“The Fundalini Pages”

In "The Fundalini Pages," Peter Kuper delivers a sharp, surreal twist on espionage with two self-contained strips that turn the classic spy game on its head. In one, the Black Spy is outsmarted by the White Spy in a high-stakes rocket heist; in the other, the White Spy finds himself prey to a bird that was never what it seemed. The story’s visual wit and layered absurdity are all drawn by Peter Kuper, whose distinctive style brings the whole surreal scenario to life. The cover, by Mark Fredrickson, captures the issue’s off-kilter tone with a striking, stylized image.
