Description

Out of print. Both issues of The Pogostick in high grade.

From the publisher:

Al Columbia teams up with Ethan Persoff to collaborate on a tale about a man with an inescapable malaise. Persoff's flat drawing style captures perfectly the empty world of Audrey, a mostly incompetent member of a design firm who doesn't want the meager responsibilities he has. But we never quite know if Audrey is drifting through it all or if he's a brilliant manipulator thanks to Columbia's always-sublime writing.

Things sure get real horrorshow in the second chapter of Al Columbia (Biologic Show) and Ethan Persoff's (Top Notch) black comedy, The Pogostick. There are Haitian zombies and voodoo warlords, a cancer patient, a butcher knife, sudden unemployment, the disadvantages of caller I.D., a horrible death, a cuckoo's nest revisited, cops with guns and flashlights, an ambulance, fat garbage bags, a clean apartment, and the gentle flow of blood on a carpet...all in two glorious colors.

Book One is graded Very Fine in antiquarian book grading (the highest possible grade). It is NM-Mint in comic book grading. There are no dents, bumps, creases, or spine dents.
