Lucky Comix #6<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, I’m probably no closer to finding where this guy currently lives, but at least I was able to post an e-mail address… from 2001. Oh well, you can still buy his stuff at Catastrophe. I wanted very much to like this one (especially after a wonderful editorial to start things off about turning 35 and still doing mostly unnoticed comics), but it left me with the same “bleh” feeling as the last. The Warwold story continues, and I can’t put it any better than he does in the back of the book: “Gratuitous long winded pre-teen sword and sorcery fantasy”. And if that’s a good thing, this book is for you, ast that story takes up the bulk of it, meandering around with the hero and his brain trying to find their way up a mountain, followed by various splash pages of epic battles. It had a few funny moments, in all fairness, but as a whole I could have lived my whole life without reading that. Next up is a story about “real” and “false” people, which is a bit too complicated to go into here, but a pretty good story, if a bit confusing without any sort of recap from previous issues. The last comic here is about Natch being trapped in prison, mostly notable for the giant clown robot\/monster\/thing that slowly saps his identity. Wrapping the whole thing up is a commentary about the wonder that is Charles Burns, so it’s hard to bitch about that. Overall another so-so issue, with me still hoping that he’s done wonderful things in the years since that I’ve missed. $5<\/p>\n
