Elephantmen #20

Written by Richard Starkings
Art by Marian Churchland

Continuing the 'Dangerous Liaisons' arc of Elephantmen, this issue looks in to the relationship between Hip Flask and his new assistant, Vanity Case. They go to a diner where Hip has some unfinished business, and run into 'Loudmouthed Jerk #1', who has a thing against Elephantmen.

It's a simple and straight forward story, showcasing Churchland's artwork quite nicely. This issue provides some insight into Hip's nature, but doesn't do much to advance Case's character, except to portray her as slightly ditsy.
