Showcase Presents: Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew

A slim but welcome collection from DC, this 2014 volume gathers the earliest adventures of Earth-C's super-powered animal heroes, spearheaded by writer Roy Thomas and artists Ross Andru and Scott Shaw!. It reprints the team's debut from the 1980s, where a cosmic event grants a menagerie of talking animals—including a rabbit, a duck, and a pig—super-powers, leading to the formation of a delightfully absurd and pun-filled superhero team. A fondly remembered cult classic, it showcases DC's playful side during the Bronze Age.
