James Kochalka Reviews

1994
Destroy All Comics #1
By Jeff Levine

James Kochalka Superstar #5
This guy's been bit bad by the comic book bug. It seems like everytime I turn around there's another one of these in my mailbox, and it makes me kinda happy, 'cause I like them. I wish there was a little more to this issue though. $2.00 for 15 pages of comics seems a little pricey. Anyway, it's a pretty good issue, with a weird story "Konk My Konk" about truth, drawing comics, and the the time as a youth he threw a rock at a friends head and thought he might have killed him. A story about why he started using zipatone was kind of wacky. The one really annoying thing about this comic though, is its annoying letters column, full of other comments from other cartoonists (like Jeff Johnson, Glenn Head, Jerome, Tom Hart, Ed Brubaker, K. Thor Jenson, and Ariel Bordeaux) about his work... it's just plain ridiculous.
