Story and Art by Ted Stearn. After a long absence, Ted Stearn's cult-favorite "Fuzz and Pluck" return in this hilariously bizarre new 4-issue mini-series. Fired from his admittedly degrading job as a waiter at Lardy's (where we left him at the end of the original F&P graphic novel), Pluck is taken in by Glibbia Honey, the manager for a ragtag team of gladiators that performs in the "Floating Arena," which is, as its name suggests, on a big boat. After witnessing the first battle (which involves a badger, a block of cheese, a mallet, and eight rats), Pluck vows that he himself will become the champion of this preposterous sport. Meanwhile, Fuzz, ambushed by a grouchy dog at his place of delivery and as yet unaware of the new developments in Pluck's life, is knocked unconscious and taken into care by a little girl! 48 pages, B&W. Mature Readers. Cover price $4.95.
