DESCRIPTION:
At times the book—which collects his self-published zines Recidivist 1 and 2, plus sundry other material—breaks out of that shell to address topics that are usually no lighter in tone though, as with of his excellent retelling of Dostoyevski's imprisonment, they benefit from the change in perspective. Creepy dreams and images of anatomical self-analysis are recurring themes, along with the general sense of transience that marked Sally's life while relentlessly touring with Low (he quit the band in 2005 and now operates his own publishing house). All rights reserved. Revealing and witty, even when mired in darkness. Sally (more known for his work with the droning lo-fi Minnesota rock band Low) tends toward richly dark, semiautobiographical, and tightly etched tales of tension and self-recrimination. The art is equally claustrophobic when not downright disturbing. . (Nov.)Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Els

Stories like “Don’t Move,” “The War Back Home,” and “Two Idiot Brothers” share little in common on the surface but are united by Sally’s forbidding style, creating a sense of dread that permeates almost every page.Sally also turns his eye towards nonfiction in Like a Dog, including “At the Scaffold,” the story of the imprisonment and trial of Fyodor Dos
According to cartoonist Chris Ware, "John Porcellino's comics distill, in just a few lines and words, the feeling of simply being alive." Porcellino's work has been translated into French, German, Spanish, Swedish, Italian, and Korean. . His celebrated self-published series King-Cat Comics, begun in 1989, has inspired a generation of cartoonists. King-Cat Classix, published in 2007, is a comprehensive overview of the zine's first fifty
"Brilliantly Depressing or Depressingly Brilliant - I'm not sure" according to Ricky Pooski. Man. This is one hell of a book. I didn't have much hope for it at the beginning since most of the early material is from old zines and consists of creepy illustrations that make you think that you're reading a medical book on the ravages of syphilis. THere's a terrifically distancing technique used for an end of the world 'everyon
