death warmed over Death Warmed Over

A beyond-beautiful collection of dark wonderment by Krytine Kryttre, one of comics most original and inspired creators. Kryttre's inventive "scratchboard gothic" style has made this collection very popular. We only have a few left and when they're gone, they're far-gone. A steal at $3.50 ppd.

dangle Dangle

Say what you will about our lack of business acumen, but we always had good taste. Just check out this luxurious collection of cartoon finery by Lloyd "Troubletown" Dangle. In a perfect world, there would have been parades in our honor for publishing this title alone. Sorry kids, this sucker is sold out.

bummer Bummer

J.R. Williams is one of the alterna-comix greats. Which begs the question: Why did he agree put out two books with us? We're guessing there was something in the punch. In addition to Bummer, there was an equally perfect companion called Bad Comics. Alas, both are long gone.

crabbs Crabbs

prometheus' gift Prometheus' Gift

Steve Lafler's most free and fluid improvisation yet. Lafler stacked the bristol board, downed a few brews, hooted a hooter, and started riffing with markers, pens, brushes, stubby pencils, and squished bugs. He also worked with a few old Jack Kirby comics (which he liberally swiped from) and from a manuscript that he'd prepared based on an infamous psychedelic experience from 4/10/76. Refrain from operating heavy machinery. $2.50 ppd.
