While "researching" a recent Nexus Graphica<\/a>, 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.<\/p>\n

\nLitterbox<\/span> #0<\/span><\/p>\n

\nKat Butt Comix, late of Bryan, TX, promoted Litterbox<\/span>, "an anthology of fresh material by some of today’s top creators and up-and-coming talent." To support the forthcoming book, they produced Litterbox<\/span> #0, a 200 copy, numbered minicomic.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\nThe giveaway contained Scott Cupp<\/a> and Brad W. Foster<\/a>‘s necrophiliac comedic tale "Somebody To Love" and info about the anthology series.<\/p>\n

\n"Somebody To Love" p. 3 by Scott Cupp and Brad W. Foster (Litterbox #0, Kat Butt Comix 1998)<\/span><\/p>\n

\nThe projected lineup for the first issue included "Bob the Dinosaur Goes to Disneyland" by Joe R. Lansdale<\/a>, Rick Klaw, and Doug Potter<\/a>, "Dog, Cat and Baby" by Joe R. Lansdale and Keith Lansdale, "Just Enough Light" by Thomas Knowles II and Adam Richards, "Underman Can Walk" by Doselle Young<\/a> and John McCrea<\/a>, and "Somebody To Love." The ashcan also teased "And more to be announced!" and a cover by Brian Stelfreeze<\/a>. The first issue was promised for 1999, but was never published.<\/p>\n

At least two of the projected stories have appeared elsewhere.<\/p>\n

"Bob the Dinosaur Goes to Disneyland"<\/a> by Joe R. Lansdale, Rick Klaw, and Doug Potter first ran in full color at RevolutionSF and the black &amp; white version along with my script was included in my collection Geek Confidential<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n"Dog, Cat and Baby" by Joe R. Lansdale and Keith Lansdale with art by Timothy Truman<\/a> eventually appeared in Murder by Crowquill<\/span><\/a> and later reprinted in Joe R. Lansdale’s By Bizarre Hands<\/span><\/a> #6 (Avatar Press).<\/p>\n

\nTo the best of my knowledge, none of the other stories have appeared and Kat Butt Comix never published a single title and faded into obscurity.<\/p>\n
