DEADPAN #2, David Heatley
Deadpan has beautifully painted full colour artwork throughout and definitely
qualifies as a personal comic, the main story 'My Sexual History 1979-2004' is told in
excruciating (so it's adults only- but not XXX-rated!) detail in teeny-tiny panels, 42
of them squeezed onto a page (think Joe Matt - but nowhere near as annoying!). It is
backed up by several dream stories which feature sex and religion pretty heavily and
3 pages of touching mini comics about his dad. A truly unique comic talent.
I've been trying to get hold of copies for ages and finally managed to get some!!
All-fullcolour , 2005, 36 pgs, 30 x 20 cm

Subtitled - 'One man's quest to wash dishes in all fifty U.S. states.' For 10 years Pete
Jordan criss-crossed the USA, leading a happy-go-lucky, committment-free
life, sofa-surfing and sleeping in his van, picking up jobs as a humble dishwasher wherever
he went. His chosen profession enabled him to find work almost instantly anywhere
he went, and to walk out of the job he was in just as quickly... DISHWASHER builds on
some of the articles from Pete's near-legendary zine of the same name, and his
recordings Chicago Public Radio, creating a highly readable full length book.
Paperback, 2007, 360 pages.

Tom Truskys TORTILLAS, takes as its starting point the phenomena familiar to Fortean
Times readers of religious symbols miraculously appearing in everyday groceries - Jesus
face on a Corn Tortilla or Allahs name in a slice of aubergine. TORTILLAS contains 6
printed Tortillas when they are heated up/exposed to light and then viewed in darkness
Truskys person icons miraculously appear, including Marilyn, Elvis and the almighty $.
TORTILLAS comes with 2 sachets of Taco Sauce glued inside, do you prefer your
mysteriously appearing icons with mild or extra hot sauce? TORTILLAS, also
incorporates images of Aztec Gods, reminding us that for the Aztecs corn was the source
of all life on earth and that in the Aztec creation myth the first humans were made
from corn meal by the Gods who then breathed life into them. You dont quite get the same
associations when you buy a packet of 'Wraps' from the supermarket. USA, 2002,15x13cm.
