COMMITTED COMICS
JACKRABBIT VOLUME 1 TP
(W) Bo DuRansier (A) C. Wilson Trull
When sinister forces conspire to bring about a reign of mild discomfort and disruption, the world must call on a hero who scoffs in the face of everything. Jackrabbit is that hero. Bounding headlong into grossly overestimated danger, Jackrabbit goes toe-to-toe against self-proclaimed menaces and deranged urban vigilantes, proving there is no threat that can't be snickered at. This tale follows proudly in the lampooning lineage of such great comic characters as Jack Cole's Plastic Man and Ben Edlund's The Tick.
