JUICE SQUEEZERS #1

(W/A) David Lapham

Tunnels made by a legion of giant bugs crisscross the fields below Weeville, and only one thing can stop them from overrunning this quaint California town: the Juice Squeezers. A covert group comprised of scrawny tweens, the Squeezers are the only ones who can fit into the cramped subterranean battlefield and fight the insects on the frontlines!

The last time David Lapham wrote and drew a creator owned series, my nightmares were haunted by a strange clown who would watch the worst my life through a hole in the fence while I stood watch always just out of reach. Ok, maybe that was a little personal, but the point is that David Lapham is not to be taken lightly. This man is clearly very very morally corrupt and should never be allowed direct contact with another human being for fear of infection. Also, now that his masterpiece "Stray Bullets" is once again set to hit the shelves, what better time than to delve into a veteran creator at the second pinnacle of his creative powers?!!
