Rotting in Dirtville

    (Gigantic, 2006)
™ and © 2006 James Callahan

Terrific, horrific art and powerful writing by the artist of Strange Detective Tales. James Callahan creates a tale about parentless teenagers in a nowhere town with too little to do. That changes when they find themselves the next target for Martian zombie robots that, like the problems in their more mundane lives, keep compounding themselves no matter how often they’re dispelled. The slight triumph of the ending reminds us that in life, but especially adolescence, victories are only temporary and perhaps more precious because of that.
