Deadbone

Vaughn Bodé’s Deadbone is a singular, posthumous Fantagraphics one-shot from 1989, collecting the artist’s characteristically wild, satirical fantasy strips. The series showcases Bodé’s signature blend of psychedelic linework and barbed humor, centered on the exploits of a skeletal antihero navigating a bizarre, often grotesque world. As a concentrated burst of the creator’s anarchic vision, it stands as a cult artifact of underground comix’s enduring influence.
