Curses
by
Kevin Huizenga
The much anticipated first collection by
up-and-coming-new-comics-champ, Kevin Huizenga is at last on our
shelves. Its arrival may, however, signal the end of Huizenga's
status
as an up-and-comer, and initiate his ensconsement in the ranks of
established contemporary masters of comics. This volume brings
together a wide range of Huizenga's work from a wide variety of
sources. It starts off with a little known (well, not to long
time
Copacetic customers) gem from the Orchid anthology published by Sparkplug
Comics, titled, "Green Tea." It is adapted from a classic
Victorian horror story
of the same name by
Sheridan Le Fanu, but is given the inimitable Huizenga treatment and
stands as an original work. Following this there is the trilogy
that
first appeared in Drawn and
Quarterly Showcase #1, several selections from the now out of print
first issue of Huizenga's ongoing solo title, Or Else, a 2-pager originally done
for Time Magazine, and the full color story, "Jeepers Jacobs,"
originally executed for Kramers
Ergot 5.
Anyone not already familiar with these works is heartily encouraged to
consider this a great opportunity to read some excellent comics
delivered in a fine package for a reasonable price. And, it
should go
without saying (but, of course, we can't help but say it anyway) that
this is makes for a swell gift. Learn more about the works of
