Published just a couple of years before Tentacle, Rita Indiana's Papi ($18) is about a young girl living in the Dominican Republic who is eager to meet her father who is visiting from the United States. She fantasizes about how great he'll be and all the cool things he'll have to show her, but reality doesn't meet her expectations, and when he finally arrives, she quickly realizes that he's far more monstrous than she ever could have imagined.
