Minimum Wage #1

Bob Fingerman's slice-of-life series returns to Image with this opening issue, its cover offering a quietly loaded image: a hand holding a Polaroid snapshot of two young people — a spiky blond guy in glasses and a dark-haired woman with a skull tattoo — a moment frozen in time that hints at the personal, street-level storytelling ahead. Fingerman's signature cartooning style is right there in the linework, warm and lived-in, perfectly suited to a series that finds the drama in everyday life. At $3.50, it's a great entry point into one of alternative comics' most grounded and relatable worlds.
