DRAW OR DIE #1
by Jon Chandler
(£1.50 from Jon Chandler,

Reviewed by Mark CamposRipper, who is a small-nosed humanoid elephant guy in a tracksuit, is given a creating machine by his pal Particle Man, and uses it to create the perfect underground comic: two demons, in a static panel repeated 28 times, tell a really funny dirty joke about a lion and a nasty monkey.
Very eccentric, in that British way — the story has the dry surrealism of one of Robyn Hitchcock's improvised onstage stories, spinning out in wider and wackier orbits. NB: this story's dated 2003, and so the artist probably has gobs of new work to show — write for more info.
