78. The Amazing Screw-On Head and Other Curious Objects by Mike Mignola. Wow. I love Mignola for Hellboy and BPRD, but this is an unexpected treat. The Hellboy universe is sometimes goofy and often absurd, but not like this; and somehow the juxtaposition of Mignola's static, moody art with this sort of implausible silliness has created something genius. Delightful stuff; read it.
