The Couriers Volume 3: The Ballad of Johnny Funwrecker

By Brian Wood

Book Three in the Couriers saga hits the rewind button on the lives of everybody's two favorite urban mercenary couriers and goes back, way back, to 1993. Moustafa's a dirtbag grunge kid selling weed by the cube at Astor Place, and Special's a riot grrrl with a mean streak, looking to carve a place for herself in the criminal underworld. How do these two unlikely partners meet up and become the tight-knit team they are now? Meet Johnny Funwrecker, the hilarious larger-than-life Chinatown mob boss and role model for little street rat hooligans all over.

Comic Book Action At Its Finest

Brian Wood and Rob G have done it again. Fans of the previous Couriers graphic novels will not be disappointed. Special and Mustafa are 2 of the coolest characters in comics right now and "The Ballad of Johnny Funwrecker" is a prequel story that reveals how they met and how special got her scar. Great characters, beautifully choreographed action sequences, smart dialogue and one hell of an origin story. Order it, read it and make sure you have plenty of hot sauce.
