Oni Double Feature 12

First appearance of Bluntman & Chronic.

Oni Double Feature #12 is a standout issue from Oni Press’s anthology series, featuring a unique lineup of comics by Kevin Smith, Mike Allred, Paul Dini, Brian Fowler, and Sergio Aragonés. Released in the late '90s, the Oni Double Feature series was known for showcasing short, experimental, or offbeat stories by top-tier and up-and-coming creators—this issue being a prime example.

This particular issue is a thematic mix of humor, pop culture riffs, and character-driven storytelling, each segment reflecting its creator’s signature style. Kevin Smith, best known for Clerks and Jay & Silent Bob, contributes a dialogue-heavy piece with sharp wit and slacker sensibilities. Mike Allred, creator of Madman, brings his distinctive retro-pop art and quirky tone. Paul Dini, a cornerstone of Batman: The Animated Series, offers a sharply crafted story likely balancing charm and noir. Sergio Aragonés (of Groo and MAD Magazine fame) injects his classic, cartoonish energy and visual comedy. Brian Fowler, less known but present here, adds depth with his own flavor of storytelling.

Altogether, Oni Double Feature #12 serves as a snapshot of late-’90s alternative comics culture—irreverent, creator-driven, and unconcerned with superhero tropes. It's a collector’s gem for fans of indie comics and an excellent showcase of diverse voices all packed into a single, stylish issue.
