The Best of Horror and Science Fiction Comics #1

In "The Brain-Bats of Venus," farm girl Chick Little takes a literal hit on the head—literally, an acorn—and suddenly the world feels unhinged. As she stumbles through surreal encounters with quiz show hosts, psychiatrists, and even the United Nations, the line between reality and delusion blurs. Cover by Basil Wolverton, with art by Richard Doxsee, this 1987 oddity blends absurdity and cosmic dread in a story that leaves Chick Little staring up at a looming Mars and her father vanishing into the unknown.
