🐰 BJORN BARENDS EXCLUSIVE COVER — DONNIE DARKO HOMAGE — LTD 500 🐰

28:06:42:12. The clock is running, the jet engine is falling, and Rascal Randy wants to know one thing: "Why are you wearing that stupid man suit?"

Superstar artist Bjorn Barends recasts everyone's favorite killer rabbit as Frank from Donnie Darko for this LeapsLair exclusive cover to Exquisite Corpses: Rascal Randy #3 — bug-eyed mascot grin, propeller cap, the time-vortex clock face swirling behind him and the countdown scrawled in red. It is the creepiest thing Randy has ever done, and that is saying something.

📖 THE STORY
As the two-dimensional Rascal Randy continues his meteoric rise during the golden age of animation, his modern-day doppelgänger's assault on the small town of Aurora Springs shows no signs of stopping. But when a mysterious figure from the past arrives touting the answers to who resides underneath that furry rabbit mask, will Lilly & Eli survive long enough to uncover the truth?
