Earthboy Jacobus

Doug TenNapel’s Earthboy Jacobus (2005, Image) is a standalone comic that blends sci-fi adventure with heartfelt family drama. The story follows a young boy who, after discovering a mysterious alien artifact, finds himself caught between his small-town life and a cosmic destiny. TenNapel’s distinctive, energetic artwork and character-driven storytelling make this a warm, offbeat gem in Image’s early-2000s catalog.
