Rare Creature #4

I’m generally not a big fan of the stuff from Slave Labor. Sure, I love the Evan Dorkin stuff, but that’s as far as it goes, unless I’m missing a bunch of good stuff from them. I picked this up pretty randomly a few months ago and think it’s a good little book. Granted, it would have helped a lot if I had paid more attention and seen that it was the last issue of the series, but it still gives a good idea of what the author is capable of. This issue (and this might be a spoiler for anybody reading the series in order, so you might want to skip this) is about the main character, Amelia, and her fear about having a child. She sees horrors for her baby everywhere she goes and is terribly afraid about what her child might be when it comes out. Creepy, disquieting stuff. I’ll have to get the paperback to see what else happened to get her to this point because I’m curious. Not sure if Kelley has done anything else but I enjoyed this one and will pick up anything else that I see. E-mail her if you want to comment on stuff, otherwise just click on the title to get the books.

Looks like the graphic novel is available, if anybody is interested.
