Keyhole vol. II, #1
By Dean Haspiel & Josh Neufeld. 32 pages, $3.50,
with color cover by Dean Haspiel and Josh Neufeld. Interior stories &
art by Haspiel and Neufeld.
Neufeld and Haspiel are back at it, in a new issue of Keyhole — where autobiographical stories of international travel are cleverly mixed with stark tales of introspection and social commentary.
In "Tribal Rituals, Part I: On a Mission," Josh & Sari find themselves out in the cold in a remote corner of Thailand — until they are taken in by fundamentalist Baptist missionaries! Dino confronts the horror of one hundred dead cats and a psychotic neighbor in "Awful George," and finds that the post-9/11 world isn't all that different in "Doored." All this and much more in the exciting re-launch of the critically acclaimed eclectic anthology. Isn't it time you took a peek through the Keyhole?
Friends for over 20 years, Dean and Josh co-created Keyhole, which
has run for six
issues with two different publishers. Now it lives again, with Alternative
Comics!
Dean Haspiel is the author of semi-autobiographical comix and super-psychedelic
romances. He is nominated for an Eisner 2002 award for "Talent Deserving
of Wider Recognition." Dean's comix appears regularly in The Billy
Dogma Experience, heart-charming stories about the last romantic anti-hero,
and the 48-page, semi-auto-bio collection Opposable
Thumbs, episodic tales of a born & bred New Yorker living
in the big bad city. Both series serve as the backdrop for informed, existential
expression in his socio-metaphysical comix.
Josh Neufeld has been drawing comics since he was four years old. He is the co-creator and illustrator of Titans of Finance, also published by Alternative. Josh has contributed artwork to Harvey Pekar's American Splendor (Dark Horse), the EXPO anthologies, 9-11: Emergency Relief, The Big Book of Urban Legends (DC/Paradox Press), and Duplex Planet Illustrated (Fantagraphics), among others. He resides in Brooklyn and makes a living mixing freelance illustration with web design.
