AMAZING! INCREDIBLE! DANGEROUS! {product_snapshot:id=652,true,false,true,left}The cartoon anthology that puts the kicks back in comics strikes again. Climb on board the Hotwire express for another electrifying joyride — from the sublime to the ridiculous, and all parts in between. Hotwire Vol. 2 includes some of the strongest narrative comics around. Tim Lane’s epic autobiographical strip, “Spirit,” portrays the grittiness, desperation, and terror that accompanied him as he went on the bum, riding the rails. “Niacin” by Mary Fleener is the sordid but hilarious story of a hallucinatory date with a drug dealer.

New book illustrated by Richard Sala
A Loud Humming Sound Came From Above is a new book with cover and interior illustrations by our own, beloved Richard Sala and collecting twelve of Johnny Strike's genre-bending stories that weave together elements of vintage crime or sci-fi pulps in work that recalls variously the writings of Philip K.
