I can't get enough of this comic book...its a combination of gangsters,beautiful dames, noir, and zombies! Powell creates an amazing world with some memorable characters - this comic is regarded as one of the most original - a title rightfully earned!

Loads of gorgeous glossy pics from Robert Williams, Mark Ryden, Joe Coleman, to many to name here! Also some great essays regarding pop-surrealism and low brow art.
Something interesting I read...
"The battery lamp had fallen into a niche in the rocky bank and nearby rested an anemone that had the approximate size and oblong shade of a women's coin purse. Itt was a fancy thing, pale jade in color, beaded around it's outline with what looked like dark green florets. I was tempted to reach down and grab it, but feared it would be unpleasent to touch or sting me with its acids. Best to imagine it in hand, I thought. Smooth and firm, a living stone. On the bottom, a crab no bigger than the joint of my thumb was negotiating a rise between two collapsed strands of kelp. I stared into that shallow depth with such intensity, it seemed I became a citizen of that savage, tranquil place. [my italics]
