Inhaltsangabe

In a galaxy far, far away, swashbuckling space adventurer Joe Galaxy is out raising hell. Whether smuggling contraband alien porn, cheating at interstellar poker with bug-eyed monsters, or contending with the wicked lizards of Calisto IV, our wisecracking antihero always finds himself embroiled in one outrageous scenario after another.

Launched in the late-’70s, this satirical space opera showcases the twisted genius of its creator, Italian underground cartoonist Massimo Mattioli. Gleefully unhinged, Joe Galaxy swirls together pop culture parody, fourth wall breaks, formal inventiveness, and oodles of over-the-top sex and violence into a crazy comic cosmic gumbo. This complete collection includes every episode in the 14-year run of the Joe Galaxy universe, plus a bonus short penned by Mattioli in 2018, as well as a spirited intro by Coconino Press editor Oscar Glioti.
