Hotwire Comics
Volume 1

Remember the days when alternative comix were fun? Before the perpetually-depressed inhabitants of 200-page graphic novels started dragging themselves around their apartments looking for tea and having internal crises on subway trains? So does Glenn Head, and he's pulled a bunch of like-minded luminaries together to boggle the eyes and fry the synapses of real comix fans everywhere. Nitrous oxide-addicted balloonheads indulge in dangerous knifeplay, while they bungle a kidnapping. Dream stories barge into wildly colourful character studies, anarchic gags and bizarre antics.
