The Comics Issue
Comic Book Hero
Peter Bagge is one of the best comic storytellers ever. He’s the creator of Neat Stuff and Hate, and he edited R. Crumb's Weirdo for a few years. Hate was one of the most important comics ever produced.
Tidbits (Rifling Through MORE Comics Artists' Personal Belongings)
It’s part of a tea-table set my mother’s father built for her when she was my son’s age. We had to refinish it recently, losing the original decals that Grandad applied in 1948, so I painted up a bunch of cels like the one you see here.
Literary/I Want My DVDs
This is a compilation of basically everything Giant’s ever done. Him and Scott Campbell from Saved are the best sources for tattoo ideas in the whole world. There, I said it.
Garbage Trove
Being in Mark Newgarden's house in Brooklyn is like hanging out in the brain of a middle-aged acid casualty.
Black Ships Ate This Guy
The bonafide masterpiece of a new record by goth folk hero Current 93 (a.k.a. David Tibet) is about black ships flying in the sky, the return of Christ, and the Antichrist (in the form of Cæsar) battling for control of the universe.
