DRY ROT

8-page mini-comix
Published by Thru Black Holes Comix and Comix World
Copyright © 1981 by Michael Roden
50 cents

This book was the only MICHAEL RODEN contribution to a rather extensive series of mini-comix produced by the late comix chronicler CLAY GEERDES. Pathologically serious collectors may want to note that DRY ROT was published in three color variants: one printed on pink paper, one printed on white paper, and one printed on yellow paper. Contents:

cover     untitled drawing (Dry Rot)

Title logo with simple drawing of a chubby skull and cross-bones.

pages 2-6     The Skull

Loosely connected series of five full-page illustrations featuring skulls. A detail of the image on page 2 was issued as a button (see THRU BLACK HOLES BUTTONS for information).

page 7     Stay Away From Mr. A

Interesting collage-drawing that includes indicia and publisher’s logos.

page 8     untitled collage-drawing

A rather bizarre pelvis-creature that somewhat resembles the collage-drawing Dreaded Na-Hag (page 8 of THE BLACK BOOK). Yow.

Resource Notes:
Thanks to MICHAEL RODEN for providing copies of the pink and white variants of this interesting mini-comix.
