Once Upon a Time in the Future

In the early 1990s, Malibu Comics published this single-issue, self-contained graphic novel by writer/artist Zeljko Pahek. A satirical, post-apocalyptic fable, it follows a lone survivor navigating a bizarre wasteland where the remnants of civilization are filtered through a surreal, deadpan lens. Pahek’s stark, expressive artwork and wry storytelling make it a cult curio of the era, offering a singular, offbeat vision of the future that feels both timeless and distinctly of its moment.
