The front and back covers of Bill Sienkiewicz' Stray Toasters model three (number 3). This shows the diversity of Sienkiewicz' work: the front cover is a fine-art oil painting portrait of one of the novel's characters, the back shows his more anarchic comicbook style.

Stray Toasters is a four-issue comic book miniseries created, written and illustrated by Bill Sienkiewicz and published by Marvel Comics's imprint Epic Comics in 1988. Although it was critically acclaimed, it never reached widespread circulation like Sienkiewicz's later works.

The story revolves around criminal psychologist Egon Rustemagik and his investigation of a serial killer who seems to be targeting women.
