partial comics report

So here I am, empty NYC for Memorial Day, at an internet cafe checking email. How low can you go? $3.75 for half an hour? Man.

So, Dan's in LA with Gary Panter. Tim is in Limbo somewhere (the beach?). And me, I'm just trying to stifle my urge to yell F**k The Troops to the throngs of white uniformed sailors souring these East Village streets.

Saw Sun Ra's Arkestra last nite. It was the anniversary of his leaving this world and the birthday of the band's present leader, Marshall Allen. Sun Ra's music is still out there, it still cuts, and the musicians are just masters of their art, breathtaking to behold.

In Cold Heat news there are two new Specials are at the printers. See you at MoCCA.

Care to share who the collaborators are? Inquiring minds want to know...

Ryan Cecil Smith or Ryan Cecil as he's known on the Closed Caption Comics blog.

Jim Rugg or "Killer" as he's known in rural Pennsylvania.

Didn't you say Jon Vermilyea was going to do another one?

Yo man, it ain't the troops' fault. They're getting screwed worst of all.

Glad you guys are back, tho.

Jon V's new Special will be out for San Diego.

Chris Cornwell is doing another one also.

And Dash Shaw's Special will be available in a newer, nicer edition for MoCCA.
