Threat!

    (Fantagraphics, 1986-1987)
™ and © Fantagraphics Books, Inc.

Some sort of creature has been sighted roaming about New Jersey’s Meadowlands, and performance artist and filmmaker Ultra Violent is looking for him. The Holo Brothers have no background to speak of, and their “nonexistent” status affords them the freedom to break the law in a number of ways. Usagi Yojimbo follows the way of the rabbit samurai.

This black-and-white anthology magazine from Fantagraphics offers up some intriguing alternatives to the usual spandex-and-fisticuffs of the comic book scene. Each installment is a bit short, but enough to bring readers back for more.
