Zona 84 #12
In "Crabs (Ladillas)," Paul Kirchner crafts a surreal, dreamlike journey where buses on a vast plain merge into a new landscape, their roofs forming a second flat expanse where fresh buses now travel. A striking visual concept unfolds in this 1985 issue, with Kirchner handling writing, art, and inks in a fully unified vision. The cover by Jordi Penalva captures the same uncanny, geometric transformation with precision and flair.
In a whimsical twist of scale and motion, a vast plain becomes a highway when countless buses converge, their roofs merging into a new, surreal landscape where fresh buses begin to roll—only to vanish into the endless cycle.
