Thriller #5
In "Villa cartón," Al Copone finds himself in a series of tense escapes—first outwitting a suspicious dog with a well-timed bone, then dodging a police officer by slipping him a few coins. Written and illustrated by Coco, this 1984 thriller delivers a sharp, suspenseful moment in a quiet neighborhood, with the cover by Coco capturing the story’s uneasy, off-kilter energy.
In a twist of surreal crime, a man opens a safe embedded in a wall beneath a painting of a tree—only for the tree’s roots to spill out from within. The story’s quiet absurdity unfolds in just a few panels, blending humor and mystery with a perfectly deadpan delivery.
In a quick, wry tale from Thriller #5, a burglar named Al Copone finds himself outmaneuvered by an unexpected duo: first a dog, then a cop—each thwarted with a bone and a bill, respectively.
