the' Mirk-Wood Times #6
"Star Search" is a standout entry in the cult oddity *The Mirk-Wood Times* #6, a 1973 gem from Desolation Row Comix Company. Written, drawn, inked, and lettered by the singular Randy Yeates (all signatures present), the story follows a spaceman on a relentless chase across the stars, convinced he’s hunting Zorac, the Killer of a Hundred Planets—only to discover his quarry is just Frank Fijek, a man from the Interplanetary Oil Company. A surreal, self-contained journey with a deadpan twist, all rendered in Yeates’s distinctive, offbeat style.
