The Powerpuff Girls #18

The cover of issue #18 sets up a delightfully chaotic scene: Bubbles is shown bound with rope and slung over a stick like a bundle, clutching her beloved octopus toy, while a menacing red villain looms below alongside a panicked Blossom — all surrounded by flames and destruction. A pleading speech bubble crying "Bubbles! Halp!" perfectly captures the frantic energy that fans of the Cartoon Network series will recognize immediately. With cover art by Phil Moy and an interior story titled "The Trouble with Bubbles" crafted by writer Brett Lewis and artist Christopher Cook, this 2001 DC Comics entry is a fun snapshot of the Girls' world at its most wonderfully unhinged.
