New Book
I found a new book. I read it at the library but I had to get a copy for my own. It is called “Holy Shi*t! The World’s Weirdest Comic Books” by Paul Gravett and Peter Stanbury. It is some of the funniest shit I have ever read. I must track down some of these comics and read them! Some are funny because they are propaganda comics, some are horribly racist and sexist, some are out of touch with reality and most are just strange!
One of the best one is a comic that teaches kids how to identify someone as a communist and report them to the FBI!
I wish there was a companion book that reprinted these comics in their entirety. I actually ordered off amazon for about $20. I won’t say which one tho! you will have to guess! I will never admit to it.
Down time day 5
Didn’t do too much today.
I ran an errand and then went to the comic shop. The manager was there today after a long absence and I expressed to him my deep dissatisfaction at the fact that my books keep disappearing. On top of that, how rude and incompetent his staff is. I realize that I am getting mad over comics, but it is the principle of the thing.
After that I can home and stayed in the rest of the day. I read some books and watched some monster movies. I chatted with Hunter on the phone and IM, so that was a real morale boost. She told me about a new radio station, but I think I am too far out of range. But, with these clear winter nights, I might be able to pick it up. Besides, it streams online too. I still believe in the spirit of radio, to reference Rush.
I also found the time to give my gun a good cleaning. Not that it needed it, but regular maintenance is always a good thing.
Here is a larger (or at least more expansive) version of the comic page a reblogged a could of posts back. Once again, this is from a Japanese anthology comic called “The Godzilla Comic” published in 1991. This story was written and drawn by the actor who played King Ghidorah in “Godzilla vs King Ghidorah”. It is called “Godzilla: Monster Warrior” and has Godzilla transformed into a sword and sorcery type character.
I wish I could find this whole story. Even if I can’t read Japanese, it would be so badass!
