The Eye of Mongombo

Doug Gray’s The Eye of Mongombo is a seven-issue Fantagraphics series from 1989 to 1991, a singular vision of offbeat adventure and surreal humor. Gray wrote and drew every installment, crafting a strange, self-contained world that feels like a fever dream of pulp tropes and deadpan absurdity. It stands as a cult oddity from the early alternative-comics boom, showcasing a creator’s unadulterated voice in a tight, complete run.
