Comics' longest-running anthology series serves up another feast of diverse delights, starting with a chunk of "The Ninth Gland" by Renée French, the creator of Fantagraphics's Grit Bath. It's the weird but strangely sweet story about a janitor named Huey Kittentank and two young girls who perform surgery to save the life of an unnamable foundling creature from the girls' back yard. More strange critters inhabit Jack Pollock's latest Devil Chef culinary caper, as the Chef's protégé-gone-wrong carries out unholy gustatory experiments using -- tapeworms! Paul Pope's "The One-Trick Rip Off" continues its gritty excursion into a noir Los Angeles, replete with crime, thievery, and thuggery. Finally, newcomers Scott Gillis and Jeff DeMos offer the black humor of "The Perfect Tree," the story of a suicide attempt that doesn't go quite according to plan. Renée French and Laura Allred (Madman Comics) have created an eerily evocative cover, portraying Huey Kittentank from "The Ninth Gland." DHP #108 is your one-stop shop for all flavors from the sweet to the weird.
