Stular, Andrej – Hole

Hole

I’m not a fan of the comics that are one or two words per page, generally speaking. Give me a silent comic or give me plenty of words and I’m happy, or at least I have the chance to form a coherent opinion. I’m also usually not a fan of really scratchy, charcoal style artwork. Kudos to Andrej for doing both of those things and making me enjoy. It’s a really quick read (two minutes max), but there’s a lot going on there that we don’t see and some pure human pain is on those pages. The story of a drug user with police looking for him, but there’s so much more to it than that. I didn’t think you could convey that much fear and hopelessness through scratchy drawing. Shows what I know, and why I’m writing these instead of doing comics. That’s 3 for 3 on the Mini Burger stuff.

Check out his page to see a whole bunch of samples of his work.

E-mail him to see what he has available or just write to him:

Chris Staros over at Top Shelf told me that although the Mini Burger set isn’t available on the web page, you can still order it through their online catalog. Just go to the ordering page, click on #4 at the bottom (additional comments) and write in that you want the Mini Burger set for $19.95. They have it in stock, they just haven’t updated the site in a while. From what I’ve read, it’s worth it. There might be two bad ones in this bunch and a couple of mediocre ones, but the good ones are good in ways that you don’t usually see in this country.
