Now #13

Number 13 arrives with gleeful, chaotic energy — the cover depicts a hapless bespectacled figure gurgling away ("GLUG GLUG GLUG") amid a debris-strewn floor, a tumbling suitcase overhead, a snapping circular maw tearing through the wall, and a wide-eyed wolf-like character watching from the right, all rendered in Fantagraphics' signature bold blue-and-yellow palette. It's a fittingly unhinged scene for an issue landing on Friday the 13th, which the calendar on the wall cheerfully announces. Now continues to be one of 2024's most visually adventurous anthology series, and this installment looks like no exception.
