Alley Oop and the Thorn King of Nerr #[nn]

Dave Graue's beloved prehistoric adventurer takes center stage on this cover, where Alley Oop — dressed in firefighter gear alongside a crew of similarly outfitted companions — aims a fire hose that erupts with a bold "ZANG!" burst of energy. It's a fun, visually punchy image that captures the anything-goes spirit of a strip that has always delighted in dropping its caveman hero into wildly unexpected situations. Published in 2021 by Acoustic Learning, this collection pairs Graue's lively linework with the story "Kidnappers in Moo" for a genuinely entertaining Alley Oop adventure.
