Sergio Aragonés' Boogeyman

A horror-comedy one-shot from Dark Horse, Sergio Aragonés' Boogeyman (1999) is exactly what its title promises: a single-issue romp through the world of childhood terrors, rendered in the legendary cartoonist's signature, wordless visual style. Aragonés, famed for his Groo and MAD magazine work, turns the classic monster-under-the-bed premise into a playful, kinetic gag strip, full of expressive characters and slapstick frights. While brief, it's a pure distillation of his unique talent for telling a complete, hilarious story without a single word balloon.
