Until this title was resurrected in 2006, this was the only mini-comix in the NEMESIS series. The collage work is quite impressive. Indeed, it would be interesting to see this book reprinted in a larger format. Contents:

cover     untitled illustration

pages 1-4     The Holy Moth Incident

Mysterious cosmic-psychedelic wordless sequence, narrated via carefully-crafted collages with a wonderful hand-drawn face on the title page.

pages 5-8     The Movie

Who else but MICHAEL RODEN could squeeze twenty-two panels of collage into four (small) pages without a single word of dialogue? But it works! Check out the two-panel UFO sequence on page 6. Very cool.

back cover     untitled drawing

Simple but effective drawing of a cow skull looming over a barren landscape. Hand-lettered indicia are at the bottom of the page.

Resource Note:
Thanks to MICHAEL RODEN for providing a signed copy of this cool mini-comix.
