C.O.U.S.: Reflections from Rick’s Collection #14

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.

Like many of the objects from my shelf, I have no idea how I acquired the Defective People Ashcan Edition #1. This odd 1999 publication, created by Edward Vertigo— he claims that’s his real name. With a name like Klaw who am I to argue?– relates a non-nonsensical tale starring Delirious-Ed, a floppy-eared rabbit, and Hello-Amy, an anime-inspired cat, centering around food.


From Defective People Ashcan Edition #1 (Spring 1999)

Currently, Vertigo lives and works in the Austin area, primarily in the computer gaming field.
