Plankgas #3

The open road meets American muscle in this first volume of Harry Octane, as a sharp-looking Pontiac GTO rumbles across San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge with a determined man at the wheel and a woman leaning in close beside him. Papazoglakis's cover art — rendered with sleek, confident linework and vivid color work by Tanja Cinna — gives the scene a cinematic pull that's hard to resist. If the subtitle "Transam" and that gleaming blue GTO are any indication, this series has high-speed Americana running through its veins from page one.
