Comic
Untamed Highway
PREMIERE Issue #1
#UNTHIG
$3.95
By Shawn Dickenson and Noah Snodgrass.
THE underground, self published comic book that scratches the underbelly of vanished American Pop Culture. It is a road trip freak show slapstick mystery, cartoon noir, with tiki bars, Kreeps, Kustom Kulture, cars, shmoes, a poisonous drinking bird and an uptight sock puppet, freaks, Exotica, Film Noir, a secret Shriner like Society, hypnotism, gorilla mask, tikis, Roadside Attractions, and Tor! Set in a mid-century netherworld, this comic presents the story of Sydney Drake. Sydney is an average guy (or perhaps a bit below average), who finds himself doing the bidding of a Secret Society that is obsessed with Americana and Mom and Pop roadside attractions. The first issue of our comic tells the story of how Syd gets in over his head in this unraveling mystery. Along the way he deforms the owner of a tiki bar, drools over a sexy ex, and almost gets killed by his arch enemy Bananas Barofsky, who is permanently trapped inside a gorilla mask. And that’s only the first half of the comic. Full color cover, black & white images. 32 pp
