Hey Kids! Comics! Vol. 2: Prophets & Loss
Hey Kids! Comics! Vol. 2: Prophets & Loss | Howard Chaykin
1 post | 1 read
Digging deeper into the sordid, seedy, and always-entertaining lives of the men and women who built the comic book business, volume two of HOWARD CHAYKIN’s acclaimed comic à clef tells the story of those who pushed the boundaries of the lowest common denominator—at their own peril—and those happy enough to ride the waves others created. Along the way there’s exploitation, Blaxploitation, custom toilet paper, death at the dinner table, and plenty more, as fans turn pro and pros turn bitter. Collects HEY KIDS! COMICS!, VOL. II: PROPHETS & LOSS #1-6

64/150 This wasn't bad, just repetitive. If you read the first volume you got the gist of the story Chaykin wanted to tell. Working in comics isn't easy, the publishers treat the talent like crap, and the artists treat each other like crap. I could have done without every 3rd word being f**k, it becomes numbing at a point. Chaykin's artwork is still outstanding.
