OK. For the next three weeks, comics will be posted on DorkTower.com Tuesdays and Thursdays. After that, it’s back to three times a week (Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays). I think tomorrow’s comic is pretty good. I hope folks pop by and see it…and the following week, there are a couple of special surprises that will be running while I’m away in Ireland.
In the meantime, I just wanted to put a little shout out to one of the best, darkest and funniest comic books on the stands these days.
Arsenic Lullaby # 15 is being solicited in Wednesday’s PREVIEWS, and if you like hilarious, dark humor (VERY dark sometimes — the timid should beware), this is a book not to be missed! Order it from your local comic store. It’s one of my wife’s — the lovely and talented Judith — and my favorite reads…which scares me. I believe Warren Ellis said it best when he said “God help me…it made me smile.
Arsenic Lullaby no.15
24 pages , $2.65
Available for order in PREVIEWS starting Jan 29
On shelves in late March
After a brief hiatus the King of All funny books returns in it’s original format with it’s original
creative team. In this issue, an alcoholic surgeon implants 100 brains into a baby, Baron Von Donut (a corporate mascot) refuses to give a factory tour to orphans, all this plus the adventures
of VooDoo Joe(a witch doctor who is stuck in the suburbs)! This is a great issue for new readers. If you are looking for dark humor, this series is the best there was,the best there is, and the best that ever will be.
Their website is at arseniclullabies.com AND they’re from Milwaukee. What can I say? Wisconsin breeds ’em weird.
