The Weird World of Lagoola Gardner

A single-issue debut from Fantagraphics, The Weird World of Lagoola Gardner (2018–present) introduces a bizarre, whimsical universe centered on its titular character. The series, associated with creator and artist John Smith, establishes a surreal, offbeat tone that promises further exploration of its strange setting. Though brief, it marks a distinctive entry in the publisher’s catalog of idiosyncratic storytelling.
