Stewart the Rat

A single-issue comic from 2003, Stewart the Rat is a darkly comedic fable from About Comics about a cynical, chain-smoking rodent navigating a grimy, anthropomorphic city. Written by Steve Gerber with art by the legendary Gene Colan, the story finds its hero hired to retrieve a stolen item, leading him into a world of corruption and absurdity. This one-shot stands as a late-career collaboration between two comics icons, showcasing Gerber's signature satirical bite and Colan's moody, expressive artwork.
