While "researching" a recent Nexus Graphica<\/a>, I had reason to look through my collection of C<\/span>omics O<\/span>f U<\/span>nusual S<\/span>ize. 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

Published sometime during the late 90s in Bastrop, TX, the mini-comic Jumbo Shrimp<\/span> #1 was apparently meant to be a companion piece to the full sized comic Jumbo comics short stories<\/span>(sic) #5.

Typical of most small press anthology titles, this small comic offers some slice-of-life, gratuitous sex and violence, and just some odd stories. None of it produced particularly well. Contributors include Rick Howe<\/a>, Timothy Markin, Mark L. Stinson, Bobby Tran Dale, and Jim Conatser. The whole shebang appears to be edited by painter Liam Brooks<\/a> (I can only assume the cover was painted by him. No credit is give).<\/p>\n
