The True North II #[nn]

In "How Lethargic Lad Became So Darned Lethargic," written and illustrated entirely by Richard Pace, a grimly surreal moment unfolds as a police force burns comic books in a public pyre—claiming it’s to mislead the press. The scene takes a chilling turn when a cop, unblinking, reveals his true motive with a single, brutal act, leaving the story’s tone permanently altered. The cover, a collaborative effort by Dave Sim and Gerhard, captures the issue’s stark, unsettling atmosphere.
