C.O.U.S.: Reflections from Rick’s Collection #9

While "researching" a recent Nexus Graphica, I had reason to look through my collection of Comics Of Unusual Size. This set of the big and small and odd of comicdom offers many gems. Deciding that I really should share some of these largely forgotten and sometime rare pieces, I’m taking you through a tour of the more interesting selections.

I first met Tom Stazer when we were both working in the trenches at Blackbird Comics. He had already established a cult following for his hilarious sf parody Spaced (no relation to the Pegg and Wright TV series) and the funny animal series Lionheart (no relation to Richard I). For Blackbird he produced two issues of his post-modern anti-consumerist fable Crazy Bob. (if any of my publishing friends are listening, all three of Stazer’s titles deserve to be collected.)

Tom and I became friends which included him sending me one of the most disturbing and funny Christmas mini-comics/cards of all time. With his kind permission, I present Davey’s Magic Christmas in it’s entirety.
