What that means, basically, is that I&#8217;m going to have to order a few more books from this man because I only got about 12 pages worth of stuff, and it wasn&#8217;t my favorite thing in the world. So then why would I buy more stuff? A few reasons. <a href=\"john_hankiewicz.htm\">John Hankiewicz<\/a> draws the story on the back and I&#8217;ve been following his stuff around like a little puppy dog these days. Peter has a story in the next issue of Tepid too, so that automatically makes me curious. And anybody in general who is liked by that many people is worth a few chances in my book. What didn&#8217;t I like about it? Wasn&#8217;t too fond of the single panel gag comics, or the &#8220;Your House&#8221; strip about things that go on when you&#8217;re not looking. I liked the first story (about a superhero who falls in love with a girl who loves indie comics), if it was a bit predictable. The dream stuff is a great idea and there&#8217;s been a real lack of quality dream comics lately. Overall, a mix of good and so-so stuff. Like I said, it&#8217;s hard to get a real feel for the guy in 12 pages&#8230; which is why the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.peterconrad.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">website<\/a> was such a help. All kinds of samples there, so go figure out for yourself what you think of this guy, My opinion of him went up dramatically after I saw samples of other stuff that he had done, that&#8217;s for sure. It confirmed for me that the good stuff I saw in this issue is what he usually does. It looks like the other issues are a bit more coherent than this one too. Anyway, <a href=\"http:\/\/webmaster@peterconrad.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">e-mail him<\/a> or send him money (although I really think you should check out the samples on his page first): P.O.
