500 "Slow Death Zero is a revival of the legendary underground
horror comix anthology, Slow Death. This one-shot 50th
anniversary edition includes all-new comix by 33 writers
and artists, with one classic reprint by R. Crumb, 28
stories and pin-ups to chill the bones in our temperature-
rising age of global warming."--(publisher's website)
520 Inspired by the ecological advocacy of the original title,
which debuted on the very first Earth Day in 1970, this
edition features horrifying tales depicting the
environmental calamity facing our world in this time of
climate change. The book is headlined by a savage
depiction of the implications of the melting polar ice cap
in Antarctica, by award-winning cartoonist/illustrator
William Stout, who provides the cover. Also included is
work by Richard Corben, Rick Veitch, Drew Friedman, Bryan
Talbot, Hunt Emerson, Peter Kuper, and many more, as well
as unseen work by the late, great Greg Irons. This is a
wild and outrageous collection of environmental-themed
horror stories, a fat compilation by the most diverse team
of Slow Death contributors ever assembled! As our Editor,
Jon B. Cooke, describes it: Representing the "Old School"
Slow Death crew, we have cover artist William Stout, Tim
Boxell, Bryan Talbot, Errol McCarthy, and even (gasp!) ol'
man Gore himself, Richard freakin' Corben, this time
teamed with frequent Creepy/Eerie collaborator, Bruce
Jones, himself a horror comics anthologist of terror-ific
taste! As a bonus, there's a rarely-seen Greg Irons page
that somehow missed being included in Slow Death #11.
There's also a whole bunch o' talents herein who came to
prominence a tad later, including Rick Veitch (who
actually got his start, back in 1973, in the Last Gasp
comic book Two-Fisted Zombies) and Hunt Emerson (whose
debut in underground British comix dates to the mid-'70s),
plus Weirdo mag alumni Peter Bagge, Drew Friedman, Carel
Moisewitch, Savage Pencil, Rick Altergott, and (almost-
Weirdo) Danny Hellman, plus work by cartoonist vets Peter
Kuper, Bob Fingerman, Mike Diana, and Kellie Strom.
Relative newbies include Max Clotfelter, Cody Goodfellow,
Mike Dubisch, Cameron Forsley, Kevin Jackson, Megan
Jeffery, John Lucas, Charles Schneider, Garret Shanley,
Skinner, Shane Oakley, Toufic El Rassi, M. Yafa, and
especially Pat Moriarity, who, as usual, went the extra
mile. (Sorry for any mis-characterizations here.) Hat's
off to good ol' Gaspar, the Friendly Host, Slow Death's
mascot/chattering skull who, for some of the stories
within, turned over horror-host narrating duties ish to
Cap'n Ronzo himself, our fearless leader who founded this
darn comic book five decades ago!
