Yummy Fur #17

"Ed" marks a pivotal moment in Chester Brown’s Yummy Fur series, with the story’s stark, intimate storytelling drawing readers into a haunting, dreamlike sequence. In this 1989 issue, Josie shares a quiet meal with a zombie before fleeing home, where her mother’s desperate attempts to calm her only heighten the tension—until a sudden burst of sunlight ignites her, leading to a terrifying, surreal descent into the sewer. Rendered in Brown’s signature raw, expressive style, the issue’s emotional weight and unsettling atmosphere are amplified by his unified art and lettering, all unified under his own hand.
