The Cartoonist Always Draws Twice

This is a special feature that will hopefully give a glimpse into the weird and seedy world that is comics. Perhaps due to prolonged exposure to these obscure magazines I have developed an ironic condition that leaves me unable to hold a comic with my bare hands. This is an exaggeration, (meaning it’s not true) but, yeah, there’s something in my chinese oil that dissolves the ink off comic covers when I hold them. Weird huh? Therefore I’ve enlisted the help of my girlfriend, Rikki, to help me do some comic reviews. She reads lots of comics, but is often confused the nonsensical choices of this medium. Because we comic lovers are so close to the books we read every week, this may offer an interesting perspective.

So, let’s see if we really can judge a book by it’s cover!
