The Phoenix has shared an exclusive preview of issue #96.
Digital Spy has been given a first look at Jamie Smart's Looshkin adventure.
"A visit from great (rich) auntie Frank and her delicate prizewinning poodle Princess Trixibell calls for Looshkin's best behaviour - if only Looshkin had a best behaviour," said The Phoenix.
"Also featured in this issue is a captivating Corpse Talk with St Thomas Becket, a sudden departure in Bunny vs Monkey, a riveting Lost Tale from Russia, the beginning of a new adventure for Charlie Small, futuristic fun with Art Monkey, fishing gone wrong for Evil Emperor Penguin, a hilarious ending to the latest mission in Star Cat and a Loco Photo in the Dangerous Adventures of Von Doogan.
"We also discover what awaits at the end of the countdown..."
Smart was recently shortlisted for the Roald Dahl Funny Prize for his graphic novel Fish-Head Steve.
The Phoenix #96 will be released online, through the iPad app and in stores (for £2.99) from tomorrow (November 2).
