Diary of a Mosquito Abatement Man
(La Mano, 2005)
™ and ©2005 John Porcellino
From the Publisher:
When he was a young man, comics artist John Porcellino worked five seasons as an exterminator—a mosquito abatement man—and wrote about his on-the-job experiences in his award-winning, self-published magazine King-Cat Comics.
Now, La Mano collects all the Mosquito Abatement stories that first appeared in King-Cat, 1989-1999 (man of which have been rarely seen before), as well as over thirty pages of new material done especially for this volume.
From the raw, spontaneous, punk-inspired energy of the early strips to the gentler, more reflective lyricism of the later ones, Diary of a Mosquito Abatement Man chronicles John’s difficult path from a nihilistic belief in the meaninglessness of life to a deep respect for the world as is, and an acceptance of his place in it.
