Cold Heat

As Dan Nadel, the editor and publisher of this book, explains on the inside back cover, the stories told in Cold Heat can trace their origins to an early pot smoking session involving Nadel and storytellers BJ and Frank Santoro. Drawn in what appears to be magenta and blue crayons, this comic certainly resembles something that might be born out of a drug-induced experience. Following the travails of a girl named Castle, the story mixes the mundane with the extreme and the absurd and the art appropriately reflects the loopy and dream-like mood of the piece.
