Buzzard

In the gritty, surreal world of Cat-Head Comics, Buzzard (1990–1998) follows the misadventures of a hard-luck, beak-nosed antihero navigating a landscape of lowlifes and oddballs. Across 20 issues, the series was most frequently written by Steve Lafler, with a rotating art team of J. R. Williams, Jeff Johnson, and Mary Fleener giving it a raw, underground edge. A cornerstone of the alternative-comics scene, Buzzard stands out for its unflinching, deadpan humor and its commitment to the grimy, offbeat storytelling that defined 1990s indie publishing.
