Hi! First, my usual prefaced apology for the reviews coming few and far between. I'm busy, insanely busy, and I have a years worth of mini comics to get through. Probably from here on out everything I review is long out of print and unavailable, that's how behind I am. But I'm gonna soldier on, all for that sweet satisfaction of getting a random 'like' from Ed Piskor or Nick Gazin. Well, mild satisfaction. Now, Dick Debartolo, getting a 'like' from him will make me jack off for a week! This book is from Ediciones Joc Doc and the artist is Craoman and its called 'Agarrarla'. I don't speak French or Spanish in the slightest so I don't' have much to offer in terms of back story here. The artist is French, the publisher is Spanish. The book is god damn rare golden syrup style GOOD. These comics, from something like 5 years ago, are an insane mix of Marc Bell, Dave Cooper, and Mark Beyer style gooshie-ness. The dude flat out has a very 'Mojo Action Companion Unit' (how many of ya young kids were around to buy that mini?) strip with the author portrayed in Marc Bell style hunch with backpack, skinny jeans, and knit cap 'artist-as-rambler' style shit. I assume the tale is about the artist but am not for sure as it was in Spanish and, as said before, I don't know Spanish. The rest of the book is filled with solid and earnest gross out stuff to the max. But not banal and simple Jonny Ryan style gross out shit, this is lovingly sculpted and studied gross out shit that comes straight from the CORE. Craoman is the drawing master and creates a world of big headed baby boys and teddy bear girls that get together for all sorts of insanity that result in such lines being said as " Oh Lord... but... he's having a shit... he's having a SHIT through his DICK!!" Yeah, that kinda gold. This stuff is the stuff that occupies that place beyond rational explanation or comparison because there is just no point of reference on this green earth for this kinda shit. Its kinda like staring at the suns' corona, I can't properly explain it ya just needed to be there. And the book itself, the packaging, is just phenomenal. Rough paper that has these little sparkly bits of foil like material in it, ink that is all lumpy and sitting on the page, and these beautiful neon colored inserts on cardboard that just must be seen to be believed. This is a real art book, a comic book, a gross out book; this is the awesome book. If you can't read shit like this you're a fucking wimp, put down the social justice zine and read some real art about filling tin cans with corpses' shit and marketing it as seaweed soup to stupid punx (another line pulled from the book). Get this fucker now, do a search for the names and you'll find it. #jocdoc #craoman #screenprint #comix #minicomic
