Coda

A short-lived but distinctly personal four-issue series from Coda Publishing, Coda (1986–1987) was the singular vision of writer/artist Rudy Panucci. Blending surreal, often darkly humorous vignettes with a raw, underground-comix aesthetic, the series stands as a cult artifact of mid-80s independent comics. Its significance lies in its unapologetically idiosyncratic voice, a snapshot of a creator given complete freedom to explore his own eccentric narrative and visual style.
