SHP005: “BACCO ep 6″ by Sean Ballard and Curtis Tinsley

BACCO is a collaboraation book created by the creators of Silver Hand Press. BACCO episodes 1-5 were actually pre-Silver Hand Press and pretty much the origin of how we got started. 1-5 are out of print but were essentially about a mustachioed man dealing with his inner-apocalypse. Episode 6 is divided into three mini stories: Stitches, Sims Death, and Sewer Doula. Stitches is your basic fun loving gruesome slapstick comedy and nightmare drawn on paper. Sims Death is something anyone who has ever played Sims can relate to. Just the documenting of a sick person harmlessly playing god and executioner. And lastly the first installment of a many many part series “Sewer Doula”. Sewer Doula is the tale of a sperm who is tragically ejaculated into a toilet and flushed after a lifetime of training and improving his reproductive skills, However, he survives and has no clue he isn’t where he is supposed to be. Stay tuned for how that develops!

Pick up BACCO ep 6, read it, have something in it that reminds you of this early childhood memory that you only now realize is kind of fucked up, throw the book away. Then two days later you realize that you still enjoyed the book so you go to grab it out of your trash but realize you dumped the rest of your curry from the night before all over it and there is no way you can deal with the smell so you just decide to buy another over at our web store: www.silverhandpress.storeenvy.com

SHP004 is UKTENA”S GIFT by Harry Coin. Harry is a staple of stl music and art. This 12 page mini is packed full of detail and meticulous insanity/genius workings. This book is a part 1 of 5 that will be released by Harry and us here at SHP. We are totally honored to have the opportunity to publish Harry and his warrior/botanist/spaceman’s adventures.

Pick up this book and write down the wrong mailing address and it gets lost in the mail and then send us an email about it and we will be happy to send you another because everybody makes mistakes but then we accidentally make the mistake of forgetting to even resend one for like two months and then there is this weird tension between us because we both messed up but you are frustrated because you paid for a book you haven’t received yet so I drive it all the way to your house and we read it together page by page, over at our online store: www.silverhandpress.storeenvy.com

SHP003 is another from our “Obscure Classics” series. Artists Logan Clenney’s first book venture is called “Mission Macabre”. Mission Macabre is a mini full of minier minis. And they all have one thing in common: DEATH. Logan uses a lot of cross-hatching and heavy blacks to create a lot of depth to his stories of mortality painted in the light of a folded up note your best friend would pass to you in highschool.

Pick this up, read it while in a car, get sick on it, wipe off as much as you can, let your puke dry on it and slowly pick at it for weeks at our online store www.silverhandpress.storeenvy.com

SHP002 is Lindsay Weigel’s first book. Lindsay uses precise clean minimal drawings to convey the mundane feeling of everyday life in her books SOCKS AND ROBBERS. But don’t be fooled this story comes with a twist.

Pick this thing up, read it, leave it in your car, move it to the back window when your friends get in the backseat, let it get a little wrinkled from sun damage, spill some liquid in your car without noticing, let your car get all mildew-y andlet the scent stain this incredible mini over at our store www.silverhandpress.storeenvy.com

Let’s get this tumblr thing going. We at SHP have been busy since January, we just released our ninth book last night and it was great but before we get to that, over the next few days I want to feature the first 8 books, 

SHP001: Gorilla Commando

Gorilla Commando is like a half mockery/half worship of all 80′s action movies. It is the Rambo of mini comics. written by Connor Corr and Pete Holohan. Pick it up, laugh, put it down, give it to a friend to borrow, have a falling out with that friend, lose your book forever and buy another eventually over at our online store: www.silverhandpress.storeenvy.com

I have been working on a MS Paint comic I call “Prodigal Sun“, and am going  to start uploading a page at a time from time to time. There will probably end up being like 400-800 of these before the finale.
