Smax #1
In "Isn't it Good to Be Lost in the Wood...", detective Jeff Smax—hard-boiled and out of place—brings his partner Toybox back to his home dimension, a place straight out of fairy tales. Written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Zander Cannon, with colors by Ben Dimagmaliw and letters by Todd Klein, this first issue of Smax plunges readers into a world where storybook magic is real, and Smax’s origins are far stranger than anyone imagined. The cover, by Zander Cannon, captures the eerie charm of that strange, enchanted realm.

Jeff Smax, a detective with the Top 10 precinct, is reluctantly paying a visit to his home world in a parallel dimension, and he's asked his partner, Toybox, to tag along. She's shocked to discover that her blue-skinned partner isn't from an alien world full of metahuman barbarians like him, but from a world that's every magical storybook come to life. Smax seems more than a little embarrassed about his heritage, but that's nowhere nearly as embarrassing as Toybox's experience when he finally gets around to introducing her to his family.
