Explain yourself Santoro! Did Shaky send that? How is it?
Yes. Direct from THE SPACEBOSS himself. I’m psychically connected to the Shaky mothership!
The collection is really inneresting. I can see his development, his borrowings and innovations unfold. Remarkable.
I’m rooting around in the mothership basement to see if i can find more copies…
I’ve seen those images before, but only now I see that that’s a Dalek on the head of the A-Men! Dr. Who remixed by Kirby…
Yeah, I didn’t “get” that back when when i was 16 and first saw these comics…MONDO DALEK!!
Where can we get copies of the books?
we’re working on it.
I picked up this comic in the cavern, a lovely little underground punk venue in Exeter, I’m the area where shaky lives. It was sat on the bar in a display case, and I wasn’t sure if it was for sale or not, but the barman sold it me for a couple of quid and I have to say it’s one of my favourite comics in my collection. Did he do a series of these or is it a one off?
It’s a one off. Collects some of the material from Deadline magazine. Check out Bulletproof Coffin if you haven’t already.
[…] If his style of comic is dying out, what I have planned for Ink Proof Cannon must be tantamount to necromancy. What is The Life of Nob T. Mouse if not a surreal action adventure? What about Dr Sheep and the Aardvark? Can you really tell me Sister Clare is all that different from the oddness of Shaky Kane’s A-Men? […]
