found this for 70 cents at the Goodwill. What in the actual fuck?

time to purge the thetans.  xenu is mad at you!

i just finished "Cockpit" by Jerzy kosinski.  recommend it, kinda a clusterfuck of anecdotes from an american spy.  fiction of course.  it's a descent into a strangely OCD'd sociopath's head.  same guy wrote "being there"

check it out

Yeah, how fucking awesome is that shit?
Falling in love is the greatest joy in life. Followed closely by sneaking into a gated community late at night and firing a gun into the air.

Supernatural violent western about a lone mercenary who is proficient at using almost any tangible object as a lethal weapon.  They do not make comics like this anymore.  Even when they try to remake them.

I'll get back to you on that, I've been on a big pulp western kick lately, but at this point it's hard to say.

I can however vouch especially for this constant classic that I reread religiously:



Swamp Thing: Love and Death

It's a great collection of Swamp Thing tales written by Alan Moore, who needs no introduction and one of DC's best, or at least my favorite, artists Steve Bisette.

Basically, Swamp Thing at its most poetic form, with art that just gushes with life like a wetland itself.  What's worth noting about this power team collaboration is that this Swamp Thing was DC's first series to be sold to comic shops directly and not newsstands so it could be printed without being approved by the comics code authority.  It is definitely much more matured than Swamp Thing has ever been, and never pushes the barrier into ridiculous supernatural elements that can alienate the viewer from relating to the scope and authenticity of emotion that a man made of moss is capable of having, especially for a human.

I really hope I'm not the only comic book nerd here.

Normally a fan of Found magazine, I'm surprised I never noticed one of their additional publications Dirty Found.  Pricier than the average Found, so I can't see myself dipping into Dirty as much, but I just had to get an issue. It's basically Found, but all the notes, polaroids, sketches, etc. are sexual, and they run the fair gamut from straight laced nude male or female to cross-dressers to peeing to use your imagination.

Needless to say, I am far from disappointed.
