Sergio Aragones: "I Killed Marty Feldman!"

SOLO is the best book that DC is publishing, hands-down. And so of course it's being cancelled.

For those who don't know, SOLO is dedicated each month to another artist to do pretty much whatever they want for 48 pages. We've seen brilliant stuff from Tim Sale, Howard Chaykin, Richard Corben, Darwyn Cooke (his was the best, IMO) and, released yesterday, Sergio Aragones.

For those who don't know, Sergio Aragones is the man. More specifically, he's been a contributor to MAD Magazine since 1963 and is one of the greatest cartoonists alive. I've taken the liberty of posting one of the stories from his issue of SOLO, out in comic stores now.

It's an autobiographical story of the time Sergio met Marty Feldman, star of YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN, among other great movies.

Please bear with the randomly resized images... lately, photobucket is disagreeing with me and choosing to resize some images over others. I gotta stop using photobucket for these things.

:D It's out? Yay!

Aye, you were the first to bring it to my attention, and I was very happy when I saw that we got it. It's marvelous.

By the way, loving Goodbye Chains. I'm very interested by the concept alone. Very much looking forward to seeing where it goes!

Thanks :D. I don't suppose you'd be willing to put a couple of the promotional tracts in your shop, would you?

Like what? We totally do give away flyers and such.

If you were to publish it and wanted to have us sell it, you could run it by my manager.

Well, it's a promotional minicomic--since it's an ad, though, I was going to give it away for free. 16 pages, Xeroxed, shaped kind of like a Chick tract :D.

Totally, sure. You can send 'em to me at my home and I can bring 'em to the comic store.
