Stray Bullets: Sunshine & Roses #37

David Lapham's Stray Bullets: Sunshine & Roses rolls into issue #37 with a cover image that's equal parts darkly comic and unsettling — a stars-and-stripes-clad figure lies crumpled against a blood-spattered cactus in the desert, equal measures American iconography and grim roadside fate. Titled "Road Trip," this 2018 installment from Image/El Capitán promises the kind of crime-soaked, sun-baked atmosphere the series does so well. Lapham handles every creative role himself — writing, art, inks, and lettering — making this a singular, unfiltered vision from one of indie comics' most committed storytellers.
