I’ve been meaning to write about this comic for a while now. It’s such a clever unique idea. There are two stories in it- one about a couple dealing with pregnancy and one about gangsters involved in some sort of criminal issue. Both are dealing with problems and both use exactly the same dialogue. That’s right- the text in both stories is exactly the same- down to the “BANG!”- in the couple’s instance the bang is from their car muffler, in the gangster’s case it’s the sound from a gun. It’s a nice example of how pictures can really help to tell a story- or dictate what it’s about- like in this case. Mike Bertino, the author/artist has some really nice artwork on his site too which you should check out. You can pick up a copy of this silkscreened covered comic right here.
