The Mystery of Woolverine Woo-Bait

    (Fantagraphics, 2004)
™ and © Fantagraphics Books, Inc.

Originally published in 1982, this work by Joe Coleman is a product of a singular mind and may require multiple readings before a reader even begins to understand what is going on. The dense artwork is strange and often disturbing. Symbols are sprinkled throughout and a page of clues to help solve the mystery is offered on the last page. The disjointed story follows a number of characters, including a group of soldiers, a pack of freaks, a disembodied senator, and hostile aliens and zombies. If readers are willing, the book will take them on a Heart of Darkness–like journey through a schizophrenic vision.
