T-Rex vs. Tank

I love these dinosaur war comics. I was going to post a bunch of them, but its late and I'm tired. Instead, I'm just going to post this one for now. A combination of factors, including the expression on the dinosaurs face and loving attention to detail in the rendering of the tank's gear wheels, just make this one of the most f*cked up comic covers I've seen in awhile. It's got some kind of insane quality to it.
