Seth’s Pick :: Lobster Johnson: Caput Mortuum: This is one to read if you want a pure, simple pulp/adventure comic free from the bounds of extensive continuity and crossovers.  Yes, Lobster Johnson did initially appear in Mike Mignola’s Hellboy and B.P.R.D. stories, but you need not have read any of those to appreciate this entertaining character.  In particular, this issue from Mignola, writer John Arcudi (whose other new crime book The Creep also warrants a read), and artist Tonci Zonjic, who did a fantastic job on the Lobster Johnson: The Burning Hand mini series.  This one shot features Lobster battling thugs on a zeppelin.  Like I said, simple, fun comics.
