Comic book series : Blab

Still in the deluxe 10" by 10" format, this volume may be the best yet. It features work by usual suspects Blanquet, Walter Minus, Peter Kuper (a full-color Winsor McKay tribute strip), Peter Hoey, Spain, Doug Allen and Matti Hagleberg, as well as newcomer Greg Clarke, two superb full-page illustrations by Drew Friedman, lots of Baseman, the four-page full-color "Toilet Train" by none other than DEVO's Mark Mothersbaugh, a crazy vintage nudie-photo continuity from France (ooh la la!), more Krampus cards, some typically wild BLAB! text pieces, plus covers and a painted four-page story by the Clayton Brothers!

"Blab! is art without arrogance, and successfully straddles the line between lowbrow and highbrow. Funny, scary, sexy, and smart." – The New York Press
