Neil the Horse Comics and Stories

A charmingly offbeat series from Dave Sim's Aardvark-Vanaheim, Neil the Horse Comics and Stories ran for ten issues in the early 1980s, blending whimsical animal adventure with a gentle, surreal humor. Primarily written and drawn by Arn Saba, with contributions from Deni Loubert and others, the title starred Neil, a song-and-dance horse, and his pals in a world that affectionately spoofed classic newspaper comic strips and musicals. Its lighthearted, all-ages tone and independent-press pedigree made it a distinctive and beloved oddity of the era.
