☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis fifth issue of the series follows the adventures of Rex Libris, a librarian who is also a powerful, immortal being tasked with protecting the world's knowledge. In this installment, Rex continues his battle against dark forces that threaten the library and its secrets, blending action, humor, and literary references. Written and illustrated by James Turner, this issue is part of a cult-favorite series from Slave Labor Graphics that reimagines librarians as heroic figures in a cosmic struggle.
In "Tea With Vaglox," Rex Libris confronts the warlord Vaglox in his frozen fortress, turning a tense standoff into an unexpectedly polite showdown over tea—until the host’s hospitality turns deadly. Written and illustrated by James Turner, this 2006 issue blends surreal humor and quiet tension as Rex navigates betrayal, liberation, and a final, unexpected twist that sends him back to retrieve a book he forgot to bring. Cover by James Turner.
