It's Science with Dr. Radium Special

In 1989, Scott Saavedra launched this single-issue special for Slave Labor, a self-contained oddity that stands as the series' entire, ongoing run. It follows the eccentric Dr. Radium, a mad scientist whose "science" is more comedy than curriculum, delivered through Saavedra's distinct, lo-fi cartooning. A cult artifact from the early alternative-comics boom, it captures the era's DIY spirit and remains a quirky, singular footnote in small-press history.
