The hilarity never stops in this fourth collection of The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers stories, featuring the Brothers’ convoluted Mexican odyssey and Fat Freddy’s Cat solo escapades.

In this early epic of the hilarious and politically correct Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers, Freewheelin’ Franklin, Phineas, and Fat Freddy skip out on their rent and decide to cool it down Mexico way where they are chased off the beach, encounter a Mexican mystic, lose all their money, get thrown into jail, escape into an ancient underground labyrinth, and wind up on a secret poppy farm run by the U.S. military — you know, a typical tourist itinerary. (Oh, did we say “politically correct”? Just kidding!) Plus: Fat Freddy’s Cat stars in solo adventures, including the mini-epic, “I Led Nine Lives.”

The 7th Voyage and Other Follies is the fourth release in this special series of seven graphic albums. (The series presents all the Freak Brothers’ adventures chronologically, but individual albums are being released in a different order. Still to come: Volumes 1, 3, and 7.) The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers comics have sold more than 45 million copies worldwide in 16 languages. These painstakingly restored hardcovers, featuring die-cut covers, are the first North American bookshelf editions in more than thirty years. The Freak Brothers, the animated series now streaming on Tubi, stars Woody Harrelson, Pete Davidson, John Goodman, and Tiffany Haddish.
