BOURBON THRET by Geof Darrow

[CLICK IMAGE TO ENLARGE]

Picked up this issue of Heavy Metal Magazine which featured Geof Darrow's suitably insane "Bourbon Thret" for .25 cents.

Got home and discovered that the entire collected volume is going for $182 on eBay.com.

Yeah.

THE AMAZING ART OF GEOFF DARROW

Lately I've been on a huge Geoff Darrow kick. He's the artist for Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot (pictures two and three at the bottom) and Hard-Boiled, (pictured at top). Both were written by Frank Miller and Geoff Darrow handled the insane-detailed artwork.

His style is detailed to the Nth degree and it takes almost half an hour to devour a single page of his artwork - just to absorb every tiny detail in each and every frame.

Today I happened upon an old issue of Heavy Metal Magazine for .25 cents which featured a 13 page short story by Geoff Darrow called "Bourbon Thret".

This same issue also included a short article about Philip K. Dick. BONUS!

OUTLAND: THE STERANKO COMIC

Outland was an underrated sci-fi film by director Peter Hyams. In fact, I think it was my first R-rated film back in the day.

The movie is out of print on DVD, but you can read the incredible sequential art adaptation by Jim Steranko

Great art. Semi-derivative "High Noon in space" storyline. Plus, Sean Connery!

BTW- this art, as the film, depicts brief nudity. Be warned!
