All covers are pencils/inks by: Daniel Clowes
Lloyd Llewellyn #1, April 1986
If this doesn't epitomize indie comics of the 80's I don't know what does. I love the clutter plus the obvious reference to early mad magazines. Gotta love stick figure robots too.

Lloyd Llewellyn #3, August 1986

Lloyd Llewellyn #4, October 1986
This is just strange... but still oddly appealing.
Lloyd Llewellyn #6, June 1987
