Hickee
By Graham Annable, Dave Bogan, Paul Harvey Brown, Scott Campbell, Razmig Mavlian, Marc Overney, Derek Sakai, Nathan Stapley, Vam, and Joe White. February 2003. 128 pgs, $12.95. ISBN: 1-891867-42-3; Diamond Code: STAR 13433.
What started out loosely as a group of friends hanging around in San Francisco coffee shops on Sunday afternoons, Hickee has become a major contributor to the underground comics scene. Initiated by Grickle creator Graham Annable, he knew that the humorous talents of this gang could find a larger audience through comics. Hickee is the vehicle that ties all their Sunday afternoon sessions together -- stories that emerge from doodles or from musings about life -- resulting in a raw comic book. No censoring, no test audience, and no laugh track. Made to entertain themselves, Hickee will undoubtedly draw you into their world and provide lots of laughs along the way.
One of the most exciting new anthologies today!
