About this Collection
This collection brings together the first four issues of Michael Kupperman's surreal and absurdist humor comic series, originally published by Fantagraphics in 2009. Featuring recurring appearances by historical and literary figures like Abraham Lincoln, Albert Einstein, Rip Van Winkle, and Robin Hood, the book parodies vintage comic styles and pop culture with deadpan wit and bizarre scenarios. Kupperman's distinctive art and offbeat storytelling make this a cult classic of modern comix.

0.25 pp · Humor, Satire-Parody
In this absurdly satirical twist on the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Robin Hood, Abraham Lincoln, and Rip Van Winkle team up for a battle against the absurdly named Behemoth—pure comic chaos wrapped in a wink. A brief, deadpan parody that skewers superhero grandeur with zero pretense, all in just a quarter-page of gloriously over-the-top nonsense.
