Tomorrow Stories #7

Alan Moore's acclaimed America's Best Comics anthology reaches issue #7 with Splash Brannigan taking center stage — and Hilary Barta's cover delivers the goods, depicting the inky, fluid-bodied hero looming large over a pair of alarmed-looking thugs while a luminous pen seems to crackle in the chaos below. The tagline "He can think! He can slink! And he's unsafe to drink!" perfectly captures the gleeful absurdity that makes this series such a treat. Also spotlighted inside are The First American and U.S.Angel, The Cobweb, and Greyshirt, making this one satisfying package of offbeat superhero storytelling from 2000.
