As far as I know, Omega is Lethem's only comic work. I'd second the Pop Gun War recommendation. I bought an issue of it off of Dalrymple at a depressing Las Vegas comic con years ago and fell deep in love with the guy's work. I'm looking forward to his new one from First Second, The Wrenchies. I mean, look at this thing. Maaaaan.

If you're looking for an inroad with Gerber, I recommend the Essential Howard the Duck collection if you can find it. It's bizarre, ridiculous, hilarious, and strangely touching. Plus, it includes the introduction of Doctor Bong.

Gerber also wrote the best G.I. Joe episodes ever, the Prisoner-esque, "There's No Place Like Springfield," which, if you haven't seen that,

. It seriously messed me up as a child.

That G.I. Joe was great. I think that's the first time I've watched it.

My library doesn't have anything by Gerber, but I'll be on the lookout for his stuff.

When does The Wrenchies come out?
