Coley #[2]

In "BUS RIDE," roller-skating teen Coley makes an unexpected connection during a casual afternoon outing, leading to an invitation from a stranger and his girlfriend, Jessica. As the evening unfolds, Coley finds himself drawn into a situation where the line between observation and involvement begins to blur—Jessica, in particular, has her own intentions, and her thoughts make it clear she’s not just watching anymore. Written and drawn entirely by John Blackburn under his pseudonym Jay Blackburn, this 1989 issue features bold, expressive artwork and a quiet, unsettling tension that builds with every page. The cover, also by Blackburn, captures the moment with a striking, off-kilter composition.
