The Bus is one of those strips that really defines Heavy Metal for me – it appeared in so many issues during the 80s that it became one of the only commonalities from issue to issue. The quiet bus rider speaks to me more now than it did when I was younger because I have spent more time on public transportation, quietly watching the insanity around me.
