The Comics Journal #185 (March 1996) A full-color dinosaur-collage Tyrant cover and over fifty pages (!) of an exclusive fully-illustrated interview with yours truly (Bissette) makes this an issue of TCJ well worth having in your collection. Forget the internet rumor mill: You want to know what really happened to the 1963 Annual? What really happened at Tundra Publishing (as validated by Kevin Eastman's interview in a subsequent issue of the Journal)? Why I'm slower than molasses on the drawing board? Here's the unvarnished truth, straight from the horse's mouth. I'm as hard on myself as anyone else, and speak as honestly and openly as possible about the state of the industry and my first-hand experiences. Telling the truth herein cost me dearly in my personal life, but I don't regret it, and stand by every word. If you haven't read it yet, get it now -- just $8.00 postpaid from SpiderBaby Grafix. QUANTITIES ARE LIMITED, so order now! (Your copy can be signed and personalized free of charge. As always, just ask!)

S.R. Bissette's SpiderBaby Comix #1

If you're curious about my earlier, long out-of-print comics and comix work, this is the anthology for you! Between these full-color covers (a horrific collaboration with John Totleben, and a delirious expose on the world of LSD) lurk 48 black-and-white pages of blood-chilling, rib-tickling mayhem. Do you dare feast on two prime slices of vintage underground tales written and drawn by Bissette and Rick Veitch? If so, taste-test the gut-wrenching "Cell Food" and the hilarious, never-before-reprinted "Tell Tale Fart." Dare you listen to the "Cries of the Vegetable Kingdom"? Are you ready for the apocalyptic "Earth Invasion," scripted by Larry Shell?

Tyrant readers should take special note of the violent dinosaur tale "Scraps," introducing the Cretaceous kinetics Bissette fans have come to crave. A tiny dinosaur, a bloody scrap of meat, a rampaging Tyrannosaurus rex, and a hungry horde of pterodactyls play key roles in this fast-paced antediluvian adventure!

PLUS: letters, art, and the first installment of the fully-illustrated SpiderBaby Index, definitively detailing Bissette's earliest pubished works.

This tidy terror tome can be all yours for just $6.00 postpaid, and can be signed and personalized upon request at no extra charge. However, YOU MUST BE 18 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER to order; age statement required.


S.R. Bissette's SpiderBaby Comix #2

Welcome to my nightmare, indeed! Another splashy full-color painted cover and another 48-page helping of all-Bissette black-and-white ballyhoo kicks off with "Saying Grace," a tale literally drawn from my nightmares. And if you think having a guardian angel is a blessing, it's high time you check out my one-and-only 24-hour comic, "A Life in Black and White"... and you'll be all choked up over "Cottonmouth," a haunting "period piece" (Choke!).

PLUS: "... And Deliver Us From Evil, Amen," an exhaustive and fully-illustrated overview of religion in the horror comics, from Holbein the Younger's Dance of the Dead (1538) to Superman, Basil Wolverton, and on into the hallowed pages of Son of Satan, Yummy Fur, The Savage Dragon, and more!

This oversized special issue is a steal at only $6.00 postpaid (signed and personalized at your request, and at no extra charge). YOU MUST BE 18 OR OLDER TO ORDER; age statement required upon ordering.
