Any Similarity to Persons Living or Dead Is Purely Coincidental #[nn] [3rd & 4th printings]

Playboy called it "wicked realism and freakish horror," and Drew Friedman's cover for this Fantagraphics anthology makes that case immediately — a massive, unsettling face dominates the center, surrounded by a collage of comic panels featuring a laughing loudmouth, a menacing robot with world-conquest ambitions, a rotund figure muttering about meatballs, a gleeful old man in a top hat, a glamorous woman with an ominous red web, and an aged comedian beside a graveyard boasting of outlasting his peers. Both written and drawn entirely by Drew Friedman and Josh Alan Friedman, *Any Similarity to Persons Living or Dead Is Purely Coincidental* delivers the brothers' signature blend of grotesque caricature and dark comedy in one densely packed 1986 package that earns every word of that Playboy quote.
