Or – “Another Of My Transformative Comic Book Experiences…”
My work-week is a strange and freakish sort of thing, changing random in terms of hours, days off, stress level and general need for attention, and is the equivalent of herding cats in a firestorm while wearing a cotton-candy suit and being chased by hungry mandrills. As such, I try to use Sunday as a decompressive day, a moment where I can think about something (or, indeed, about nothing, if necessary) and evaluate meaningful things. The Retro Review is basically my forum to say, “Hey, did you guys read this excellent comic I have?” As such, I thought I might share with you one of the first books that I encountered that really grabbed me and made me think about the meaning and the possibilities of the art form. And, naturally, if you know me, you know damn well it was written by Steve Gerber…
