DORK #9

Like some undead creature of legend, rising from the crypt once a year to spread terror and mayhem - it's the return of Evan Dorkin's notorious award-winning humor anthology, DORK! Well, okay, it's nothing like some creature of legend; it's just a comic book. Here's what's in Dork #9: an all-new Eltingville Club fanboy nightmare strip! The first new Murder Family episode in over three years (concerning Texasville drifter Harlan's blood-soaked April Fool's gags!); an all-new Fun strip (featuring Myron the Voodoo Doll, Phil the Disco Skinhead and the final Latchkey Kids installment!); The Island of Misfit Candy; and a bunch of other rigamarole, crafted with care to confuse, anger, and delight. The sole reprint is "The Soda Thief," Dorkin's well-received three-page autobiographical strip taken from last year's acclaimed Streetwise anthology. Can you stand the majesty that is Dork #9? More new stuff than ever, and more gags than any other humor book out there!
