All Time Comics: Bullwhip

Part of Fantagraphics' 2017 "All Time Comics" line, Bullwhip is a single-issue homage to the raw, unpolished energy of 1980s independent comics. Writer and artist Benjamin Marra, alongside co-writer Josh Bayer, delivers a deliberately crude, over-the-top tale of a leather-clad vigilante, channeling the era's punk aesthetic and DIY spirit. This issue matters as a concentrated blast of retro exploitation style, capturing a specific moment when underground comics reveled in their own trashy, confrontational freedom.
