cover     untitled painting

This cool horror painting (from 2003) features a flying fire-breathing skeleton and an eerie giant skull. Even though greatly reduced for publication here, it printed beautifully.

page 2     publication information

Includes a cool vintage Thru Black Holes Productions logo.

page 3     The Loose Bohemian

This page includes the lyrics to the 1993 THRU BLACK HOLES BAND song (recorded on THE BLUES ALBUM, 1995) and a small untitled collage. “A pencil, my mind is a pencil.” Rock on.

pages 4-5     The Scream

This delightful Crazy Man version of the EDVARD MUNCH classic was originally published in 2003 in the fabulous (and super rare) CRAZY MEN CLASSIC ART SERIES portfolio.

pages 6-7     Thru Black Holes Comix

This is a brief text piece by DALE LEE COOVERT about Thru Black Holes Comix (duh) and its role as a community of artists.

back cover     untitled drawing

To create this fabulous and beautifully colored drawing, MR pieced together some ED H. DORN drawings left over from the 1980s and then colored the finished drawing in Photoshop. This is an amazing page and would make a stunning poster.

Unless you were a member of The Esoteric Order of Dagon in 2006 you probably have not seen this comix. It is definitely worth tracking down a copy, though.

Resource Note:
Thanks to MICHAEL RODEN for providing signed copies of this scarce mini-comix.
