The Mighty Skullboy Army

A short-lived but memorable Dark Horse one-shot from 2015, The Mighty Skullboy Army offered a gleefully anarchic take on childhood imagination run wild. Written and illustrated by the singular talent of Jacob Chabot, the single issue introduced a boy who decides to form his own villainous army, only to find his grand schemes for world domination constantly undermined by the mundane realities of school and family life. It stands as a compact, energetic burst of pure, silly fun, showcasing Chabot's distinctive, cartoonish style and his knack for mining comedy from the clash between epic fantasy and everyday childhood.
