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
DISHWASHER, Pete Jordan
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.
