Slightly Bent Comics
is an anthology title with all of the stories written by Walt Jashek, who has quite a
flair for snappy dialogue and sight gags. If you hadnt guessed from the title
its a humor comic.
Within youll find two on-going stories: one featuring Dude Guy "Earths Best Pal" and another featuring Mel Cool, Mall Cop. Of the two I found the Mel Cool strip to be the funniest but probably just because Im not much in to surfer speak humor. The 40 page issue is rounded out with some amusing strips with the stand-out being the one-page "Danger Dad." Ive just got to get Mike one of the t-shirts.
The art in Slightly Bent Comics is by a varied but highly skilled group. No sloppy work here at all.
This was another picked up on a whim comic and while I probably wont be getting issue 2 this issue was amusing and not a waste of my hard-earned cash.
Issue #2 should hit stores in March 1999 but until then, check em out on the web at www.slightlybent.com or if youre internet challenged, write to Slightly Bent Entertainment, P.O.
