Treasure Obscura

In Dezago's stories of a motley crew of extraordinary people (and creatures), the Perhapanauts explore strange happenings and protect innocents around the world. Reminiscent of Warren Ellis's Planetary, driven more by developing character relationships; the short stories compiled here may be appreciated on their own, but the opening two tales are best read having familiarity with Volume 1. Dezago pens stories in this volume himself, keeping a consistent feel despite the variety of artists. Even though the art changes for practically every issue, it is a pleasure rather than a burden to see such a variety of talented interpretations. A pleasant appendix to this volume includes three fully illustrated short stories previously available only on the author's website. One piece includes an attempted rape, and several include fantasy violence and death.
