I've somehow never read any Ted Mckeever comics, this collects his first series from Canadian publisher Vortex in 1987.

The storytelling in the early going is a little bumpy and two of the main characters look similar in the beginning. However, if you stick with the whole series you'll see Mckeever is working into a very unique style of writing and drawing comics. Wildly exaggerated character design and a genre-bending story make for a great start to a highly individual comics career. I definitely want to seek out more Ted Mckeever work in the future.
The covers of the series are even more unique. Check out full-color versions at comics.org.
