Further Grickle
Cripes, I think the review up there was one of the first things I did for this website and here it is, 3/22/04, and I finally got something else to comment on. Well, I think this book is brilliant. So much so that I wonder if reading the previous book again would give me a better opinion of it, although I’ll have to get settled and have all my comics out of boxes to tell you for sure. Graham’s art is deceptively simple, but there’s plenty going on in every panel. I’m breaking with tradition here slightly to give you two samples. It’s two pages in a row, so I hope I’m not breaking any unwritten rules here, but follow the character on the far right of the panel. He’s trying to get to a party, see, but the only way to get there is through a friend of a friend who makes this other guy want to kill people. The beauty of this book is in the facial expressions of the characters. I don’t know how he conveys so much with so little, but it works. In this story you have a precocious cat who wanders into some genuinely heart-wrenching conversations, Billy Joel trying to kill a wombat, a hacking cough and a quack, and a couple of other short pieces. I think I said the other book was a bit pricey for what it was, but with this one (priced the same at $14.95) I have to say that you’re getting a deal. Check it out, if you don’t already know who this guy is, and tell your friends if you do, because everybody could use some more funny in their lives. Oh, and sorry about the corners of the samples, but you try scanning a graphic novel.

I read this book when it first came out a few months ago and thought it was an uneven but promising piece of work. After reading it again, I have to upgrade my position slightly. I like the vast majority of it, especially the silent (or mostly silent) pieces. The only thing I have a problem with is his… er… “homage” to Sam Henderson. It could easily be called “ripping him off” and, seeing as how Henderson’s name isn’t mentioned anywhere, I kind of wonder if that’s what he’s doing. Oh, That Tommy and Party Ass particularly… you know, what I’m going to assume the best out of this guy and just say that the two of them are friends, because otherwise this imitation is way too blatant, especially considering that they both have the same publisher (Alternative Comics). Taking that attitude, this book goes up in my opinion even further.
It has about two dozen stories in it, mostly short pieces. Disturbing at times, funny at others, and sometimes even a little of both, which makes it all the more disturbing. The guy has an interesting worldview, even if you can almost see that he’s worked in a respectable business for a while. Sorry, but he just doesn’t seem like he’s as much of a social misfit as most of the other comic artists that I read. As such, this has a slightly more “mainstream” feel than most of the things I read. Not sure how I can say that with a straight face with stories like Decency (about a frog being tortured and killed), Slight Aberration (about an accidental hit and run and the killer getting away with it), and Love Monster (about a man misinterpreting a friendly waitress and imagining their life together, much to his chagrin), but there you have it. Hey, somebody once said that opinions are like assholes: everybody has one and most of them stink. The bottom line is that this is a good book and it’s well worth checking out. A bit pricey at $15, but there are certainly worse things you could spend your money on.

Try Adventure #1
More often than not “#1” in the small press world means “the only issue ever”. I’m really hoping that’s not the case with this one. Chris sent me a pile of comics, so you’ll be seeing plenty more of his stuff in the weeks to come, and the pessimist in me says that there’s no way they’ll all be this good. First off, kudos on the package, as he left a nice illustration on the envelope and, just as I was about to start raging about a lack of contact info, I saw an envelope marked “secrets”. Well, I won’t go into all the details of what was inside, but it also included two websites. Really, he already won me over with the packaging, making the first comic I grabbed out of the pile amazing was just a bonus. This mini has three adventures, each more awesome than the last, except for the fact that the middle story was the best. First up is the tale of a rogue chronomancer who travels through time doing… something. He spends most of the story (after our hero gets shot and tended to by a nurse from olden times) explaining who he is and what he does, and Chris managed to make the whole thing more of less make sense before ending the story. Next up is Lady Girl, the story of a mild-mannered librarian who can turn into a superhero who happens to be a homicidal lunatic who still talks like a mild-mannered librarian. Her confrontation with the boss behind the big bank robbery is a thing of beauty and pretty much everything she says is both hilarious and horrifying. Finally there’s the tale of Barry the Barbarian, who goes to the rescue of the local village (with his giant bunny steed) mostly so he can talk to this girl he likes who is seeing another man. Awkwardness ensues, and really, who does call themselves Michael and not Mike? All told it’s an excellent issue, Chris does some really expressive work with faces considering that the artwork is overall a bit minimalistic. No price, but let’s say $2 and I can’t wait to get to the rest of the stuff in this pile…
Everything #2 (with Mark Hensley)
I can’t tell you how happy I am to discover that this is an ongoing series. Oh, I knew there was a second issue, I just figured that it would be a completely different story, as how could they follow up that first issue? Quite capably, as it turns out. Things start off this time with you trying to relax (still in your ankylosaurus form) after a successful concert. Naturally, there’s too much action in your life for relaxation to be successful, and somebody takes a shot at you. The bullets, however, are liquid bullets, and you know exactly who tried to kill you. This leads you to seek out Dr. Jambo, as he can tell you what the story is behind your amulet. Still, you have to make it to him, and the people hijacking the plane have their own plans. Again, this is the first half dozen pages or so of the story, and again, I can’t bring myself to spoil much more. OK, a few more things: your father (Mike Tyson) returns from the future to settle the score, and you also go into the internet. Physically, that is.  I forgot to mention in the last review that Chris and Mark are taking requests, as this is the comic that has everything, so any suggestion you send along may very well be in the next issue. And oh, there will certainly be a next issue if that cliffhanger is any indication. There’s still no price, I still think $2 sounds about right, and I still think that if any rich people are reading this they should give them $2000 instead in exchange for them making more of these forever and ever.

Everything #1 (with Mark Hensley)
I said in the review for Try Adventure that I doubted that all of Chris’s comics would be as great as that one, as it was a pile of undistilled awesome. I would like to happily report that, as of my reading the second comic in this pile, I was wrong. Sure, it’s possible that some of the ones left to read are going to suck, but at this point I highly doubt it. This is the story of, well, everything, and it boggles my mind that there’s so much crap in the movie theaters over the summer when somebody could just get the rights to this comic and have the biggest summer blockbuster of all time. This is going to be a tricky thing to review, as I don’t want to give away a single thing about this comic. The real joy of this issue was in seeing what Chris and Mark were going to come up with on each page. Still, I do have to give a few things away, don’t I? I can’t just tell everybody to go out there and buy this and expect to have it happen. OK, fine. The comic starts off with you (yes, you) waiting for your estranged father to meet you for dinner. Your ex is serving you, and you can tell she wants to get back together with you. Your father arrives, and he turns out to be Mike Tyson. Sadly, there’s very little time to enjoy your meeting, as the kitchen staff is trying to impregnate a gorilla with human sperm. This leads to a kitchen brawl, as you turn into an Ankylosaurus (thanks to your amulet) and Mike Tyson (who wears his boxing gloves wherever he goes) obliterates the doctor. You swat another doctor with your tail, knocking him through the window, into space and directly into the sun. Sadly, it turns out the gorilla’s intentions were pure and he wanted to be just like us.  I have just described the first five (5) pages of this 28 page comic. I haven’t even mentioned the lizard men, your concert or the fact that every woman in this comic would clearly love the chance to sleep with you. I’ve said it before, but only when it’s been completely true: it’s comics like these that keep me happy to sit down and work on this website every day.  If you have a sense of humor you’re only hurting yourself by not checking this out. No price is listed, I’d guess $2, but really any price he asks for this is more than fair.

The 12 Hour Man #1 (art by Scott Longo)
Go ahead, take a guess on what this comic is about. I’m sure there’s a list of possibilities racing through your mind after seeing that title. And the winner is… a one man wrecking crew working for a shadowy arm of the government! Yep, in this case the 12 hour man is someone who drops into an area, clears out all the bad guys in it and goes home in under 12 hours. Basically it’s an excuse for Chris & Scott to draw some serious gore and mayhem, and I’m here to tell them that they don’t need an excuse for such a thing. As there’s not much of a story to speak of, it leaves me, as a reviewer, with a bit of a blank spot in terms of things to talk about. The art is wonderful, with some brutal (but never horrific, somehow) violence. The writing, well, all Chris has to do is throw in a few instructions from the mysterious man guiding the 12 hour man and the occasional shouted threat, but he does this admirably. My appreciation for the work of this man should be obvious if you scroll down this page a bit, and this comic does nothing to lessen that. Start with the “Everything” series (as it does, after all, contain everything), then work your way over to this one. No price, as usual, but I’ll guess $2

Magical Madness #2
OK, I got this issue with #1, so none of the complaints I had there have really changed here. The problem is that this issue is actually worse than #1. I don’t think the main characters moved the entire time, which might be OK, but the book is an extended fight scene with some kind of swamp creature. There’s no tension or action, but some kind of a fight definitely took place. Other than that, everything I said for #1 still applies here. Not sure what else to say, really. I didn’t like it, but I’m just one guy with an admittedly odd sense of humor. $2 is definitely too much for a tiny book though…

Magical Madness #1
Truth in advertising time: I blew up the cover and the sample to twice their normal size. Why? Because I figured it would be almost impossible to make anything out otherwise, and it’s relevant to the criticisms I have about the book. This is a story of two people and a wise-cracking dummy who apparently go around fixing odd problems. In this issue they try and retrieve a woman’s uncle who has been hypnotized by Dracula. Naturally, the whole Dracula story has been rehashed here with our heroes in place of the literary characters. It’s also tremendously abbreviated, of course. There are a few funny parts, but there are also some groaners when it comes to the one-liners. Not sure how you could avoid that with a wise-cracking dummy, but there you go. What was wrong with it? Well, Anthony needs to work a bit on keeping the characters looking the same throughout the book. The size of that dummy’s nose varied wildly. The other faces were better, mostly. He also needs to throw a few backgrounds in. The first few pages had plenty of them, then it was almost all straight lines of crosshatching. It’s a tiny, tiny book, so I’m not sure how much it would have added, but it probably would have helped. Overall it was a good first book. Work needs to be done, but there’s definitely some promise here. There are two websites listed on the back of the book, here and here. Check them both out, I don’t see a price on this but it can’t be more than a dollar.

Gen Eric (with Nick Mamatas & T. Motley) Now Available! $2
So who saw the Sin City movie? Complete mayhem all around, blood and guts all over the place (although not red blood), and all of the quiet moments from three Sin City books taken out for the sake of keeping up the frantic pace. Well, this parody has a lot in common with that, with the extra added bonus of being funny. Oh, if only my scanner worked and I could show you the back cover of this book, if sums the whole thing up beautifully. Anyway, if you’re looking for a plot here, you’re looking in the wrong place. It’s a mish-mash of sex and violence, which shouldn’t come as a shock to anybody, considering the subject material. The art is vaguely Frank Miller-esque, more than enough to keep the little book moving, and it was great to see a Sin City plot crammed down into mini comic form. More than enough here to keep fans (and haters) of the series happy. Contact info is up there, it’s $2 and you can also get it in my online store, if you wanna…

The Cheerleader & Other Stories Now Available! $1
Three cheers for printing errors! OK, maybe not. I’m not sure what to say about this one because the main story (surprisingly enough, about a cheerleader) is a garbled mess. I was intrigued at the start, after I had read the parts that were in order, and then pages started repeating and suddenly it was over. I’m hoping that he has reprinted this thing, or plans to, otherwise I couldn’t recommend this to anyone. Which really sucks, because I liked his other two comics quite a bit, and I liked most of the rest of the stories in here too. One tells of a childhood story of why he has a red mark on his nose today, one is a short wordless tale about a bike, and the last is an adapted poem by W. B. Yeats. Like I said, if this has been reprinted. it looked like a good main story and it’s only a buck. If it hasn’t been reprinted, unless you’re a fan of banging your head against walls, I’d skip it. Contact info is up there for his other fantastic, coherent books….

Boxer #1 Now Available! $3
This is the first issue of a new regular series by Lonnie, although “regular” in the small press comics world could be interpreted in a number of ways. Two comics in a year can be considered regular, so we’ll see what happens. And, not to give anything away or anything, but keeping the same title for the rest of the series might be a bit tough. There are three stories in here. The first is about a boxer who’s lost faith in the world, the second about a young girl whose mother has killed herself, and the last about life and death and everything after. This was a really great read, and I recommend it for anybody who happens to be going to SPX this weekend (you lucky bastards), but it also felt a bit like a punch to the gut. A bit depressing, if you will, what with all the death and futility of it all. If you’re looking for something happy I’m sure there’s something with puppies on this site somewhere, but if you’re looking for a solid comic, well, here it is. Contact info is up there, it’s $2.99.

Tell Tale Signs Now Available! $1
There aren’t many comics where I could honestly say that the author has ingeniously used street signs to tell a story. Well, I can for this one. This is the story of a man who goes out, gets drunk, hits on a woman, and then wanders off. Any more than that and it’s ruined, and this is one of the tougher books to sample because what do you pick from a book with no words and have it make sense? Oh well, who said this had to make sense? This book is only $1 (which is pretty amazing, considering how professional this book looks), and it was a great idea done to perfection. Here’s an e-mail address, or check out the website, maybe you can find more there…

Hutjack’d!
Really, what can you say about a book that’s prefaced with “annoying stories” right on the cover? Luckily I liked the book anyway, but where do you go from there? The main story in here is another one of those meandering stories I like so much, this one about a peasant family, a self-absorbed reality show, a self-absorbed celebrity, a ninja bionic suicide jockey (with more than a touch of the old hardboiled detective stories to him), and one of the sleazy check-cashing places. How do they all come together to save Christmas? Well, if you don’t get this I guess you’ll never find out (note: this story has nothing to do with Christmas). After that you have a short piece on whether or not you feel weird right now, and another about a day in the life, the whole life and that one good Sonic Youth song. I thought they had one good album (Daydream Nation), but what do I know? $2

Do Tell
Here’s a stand alone comic from Trevor. This one is about the futile effort to try and get anywhere in the small press world, although he might not have meant it as negatively as all that. His character, Mason Rubella, is a cartoonist who’s trying to get the alternative comics convention. Along the way he’s attacked by bees, gets in a plane crash and is gnawed on by buzzards. Oh, and he also meets Foxy Brown. Oh, and did I mention that it’s funny? That usually helps a comic out, or anything else for that matter. It’s $2, and it looks like he has a website for you to check out, so you know what to do…

Quagga #5
Three cheers for me getting to see two completely different styles of stories in two different issues of Quagga! Hey, as long as I’m keeping myself amused, right? This is about a couple of young women trying to have a good night of dancing and drinking. This happens after one of the women accidentally OD’s, but her drunk friend comes over and convinces her to go out. What follows is a confused night of drinking, dancing and going to parties, all while the OD’d woman tries to make some sense of her life and what everything means. A wonderful, insightful book, this is a full length story and I recommend it unreservedly. Everybody already knows all about this guy, right? It’s just me who’s coming in a bit late and trying to catch up, right? If not, check out his stuff immediately. Contact info is up there, this is probably $2.

Quagga #4
“Odd Tales” indeed. What better way to describe a book with a ton of short stories in it? I’d heard more than a little bit about this guy, so I was thrilled to get his latest at SPX03 and I have to say that I liked most of it. Hey, that’s the nature of putting a bunch of stories in a book. Lots of one page gag strips, which were pretty solid, but the longest story in here was “Venereal Equinox”, a meandering tale about war, power, Halloween and philosophy. I don’t mean “meandering” to be too negative, it just seemed a bit dreamy. Liked the overall message though, not that I’m going to tell you guys or anything. The middle of the book is “Urban Pest Gallery”, a collection of the oddballs who apparently harass Trevor (or does he just prefer “Alixopulos”?) regularly. You can’t go wrong with funny, insightful comics. As for “The Posieville Posse”, I just didn’t get it. There, I said it. Maybe other issues would have helped, maybe my mind was wandering, but it didn’t do much for me. Then there are a few short pieces at the end with random humor and violence, and you end up with a pretty good book. It’s $2, e-mail the man or just go here to get that and most everything else that is good in the world of comics…

Mine Tonight Now Available! $10
If you’re anything like me, tales of the 2004 presidential election can still be a little traumatic. Luckily this story deals only peripherally with that event, instead focusing on the maturation of a young man named Lukas, from his certainty that the world was going to end any minute to deep cynicism, all the way back to a belief that he could possibly make things a little better. The prologue gets most of that out of the way and is crucial to show just why he’s willing to sign up for a fairly ridiculous mission: get 5 million dollars from a front group of a billionaire (with the permission of said billionaire) and pass it along to the Kerry campaign, all while keeping his famous name out of it. This is even harder than it sounds, as all of this money has been cycled through various election front groups and tracking down the actual money is almost impossible. Along the way Lukas finds an old friend named Trevor Alixopulos and gains the trust of the only person left working at the relevant front group, and Trevor (the artist, not the character) throws in a few dream sequences and a “newspaper strip” to keep things humming and give the reader a little more insight into the characters. It’s a wonderfully morally ambiguous tale. Although Lukas knows that his actions will likely have little to no effect on the election, and although he knows that his lack of ruthlessness might well be what keeps the people in charge doing their thing, he’s still trying somewhat hopelessly to make things a little bit better. This is probably the best thing Trevor has done yet (although he has plenty of minis I still haven’t read, so who knows), relevant for our times yet never preachy. $10

The Hot Breath of War Now Available! $13
I don’t know if it’s my rapidly approaching senility or my bizarre work schedule, but I would have sworn that I reviewed Mine Tonight 6 months ago, tops. Turns out that it was more like 18 months ago. An irrelevant detail, unless you’re thinking that I’m some sort of authority at, well, anything. This is less a coherent graphic novel than it is a collection of 6 pieces, but they do have elements of war and its aftermath tenuously holding them together. First up is We Are Defeated, an at least mildly zany take on war, our national “strategy” of winning hearts and minds, the language barrier and the utter insanity of it all. Next is Data Recovery, as a young man who thought that data recovery would be an exciting job gets a jolt of reality, then tries to remember if there’s anyone in the world he cares about. There’s A Monkey On My Back follows, telling a story from the perspective of a child about war and how he no longer knows where to run when he’s scared. Valadolid 1936 tells a short but fascinating story of prisoners facing a firing squad, and if it’s a true story it’s even more fascinating. …And His Breath Is Hot, if you want my opinion (and if you don’t you should have stopped reading ages ago), is the best story in the book. It’s all about a young girl who meets a “victorious” solider while going out to bury her mother. Their conversation and their collective brutal honesty says all about war that ever needed to be said. Finally there’s A Journey In Time, in which three characters with distinctly different goals for the evening meet up by chance, with two of them going home together and one of them getting one step closer to going insane. It’s not a spoiler as long as I don’t tell you which one, right? Writing all this out, it occurs to me that these pieces are more closely related than I first thought. Even the last piece had a disabled bar owner who looked to be struggling to survive. It’s easy and understandable to have war fatigue in this country, even if our national media mostly either pretends the wars don’t exist or they try to fluff them up for one political party or the other. This works goes around all of that and just tries to quietly tell the story of people involved at various stages of war. It’s a damned thoughtful book, and it’s making me rethink my policy of writing a review right after reading a book. I get the feeling this one is going to be percolating in me for a while to come… $13

Lackluster World #5 Now Available! $5
Hey look, an origin issue! Granted, it’s a little annoying after the cliffhanger ending of the last issue, but in the grand scheme of things it’s crucial to have these people as fleshed out as possible. In this issue we get to see the reason for Fahrenheit’s hatred of Kelvin and yes, he does have a damned good reason to hate the guy. We also get to see Fahrenheit at scholl and how much crap he had to put up with due to being an albino. And the parents! What origin story would be complete without at least a little bit of influence from the parents? Another solid issue, and another crucial piece of the puzzle. Now all Eric has to do is get working on #6, as it’s just plain mean to get people hooked on a series and then make them wait forever to see what happens next… $5

Lackluster World #4 Now Available! $5
You’d never guess from that cover, but this is the issue where everything comes to a head. Fahrenheit is revealed as the vandal, his siblings find out and try to take him out, and two competing mobs (pro and con Fahrenheit) wage a bloody battle in the streets. Nothing Lackluster about this one, I’ll tell you what! Sorry, I just couldn’t resist. Eric has made a ton of excellent points in these first four issues and I get the impression that they’re going to gel nicely as a graphic novel. The virtual reality bits from #3, the barely controlled chaos of this issue, all combined with setting everybody up for a fall in the first two issues. Oh, and I haven’t even mentioned the multiple cliffhangers at the end of this one, or the prospect of the siblings meeting each other again in prison. Uh-oh, I may have said too much. Luckily I got #5 at SPACE also, so it won’t be a mystery to me for very long. As for you, this series has been a blast so far, so I’m not entirely sure what you’re waiting for. $5
