The Best of Crock

A single-issue 2017 release from Titan Comics, The Best of Crock collects highlights from the long-running, absurdly violent British humor strip Crock. Originally created by the late, great John 'JAK' Armstrong for The Sun in the 1970s, the series follows the misadventures of a hapless, perpetually angry caveman and his long-suffering family. This slim volume serves as a tidy, accessible introduction to Armstrong's distinctive, squiggly linework and the strip's unique blend of prehistoric slapstick and sharp, often darkly comic social commentary. It matters as a compact tribute to a beloved UK newspaper institution that entertained millions for decades.
