Scrublands

Joe Daly's Scrublands, a single-issue comic from Fantagraphics published in 2006, drops readers into a surreal, sun-scorched South African landscape. Known for his deadpan, meticulously detailed linework and offbeat humor, Daly crafts a meandering, atmospheric tale of oddball characters and strange encounters. Though brief, the issue stands as a distinctive, self-contained slice of his singular vision, showcasing his talent for blending mundane observation with the bizarre.
