Instead of putting them all up here (a bunch of them don&#8217;t appear to be in print anyway), I thought I&#8217;d just go with the two most recent issues so you could get an idea of what the guy is all about. I&#8217;m mostly just posting covers too, just because I like some of his covers. A general overview of his stuff: it&#8217;s good. There&#8217;s so much variety that it&#8217;s hard to make a blanket statement like that, and I didn&#8217;t like all of the stuff he sent me by any means, but he&#8217;s prolific, so he can work through weaknesses a lot faster than some people and I think this one was the strongest of the bunch. Autobio done well, and that&#8217;s always good to see. He has a deal going on where you can send him $5 and get a bunch of his older comics. That&#8217;s the best overview for what he&#8217;s done, but for the best look at what I think he&#8217;s capable of you should get the issues of Unshaven Chi and give him a chance to experiment.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/bent4.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"341\" height=\"542\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website\u00c2\u00a0 Unshaven Chi #4 OK, Ben sent me a whole bunch of books this past weekend.
