Greasers in Greece. This hilarious offering by publishers GryphonKnights Comics, just now hot off the press, reads like the comics I remember from earlier days.
This comic is filled with visual puns, running jokes, socio-cultural asides and masterful allusions to all kinds of 20th century archetypes and motifs.
