Description
MEATHAUS certainly didn’t invent the whole idea of a comics anthology, but it’s the kind of book that’ll make you think otherwise. An A-team of creators gives it their all in S.O.S., spilling passion/sentiment/cool/rage onto the page. Their stories are beautiful and brutal, bizarre and brazen, all told by guys like James Jean, Farel Dalrymple, Brandon Graham, Tomer and Asaf Hanuka, Thomas Herpich, Jim Rugg, Corey Lewis, Matt Furie, D-pi, Ross Campbell, Sheldon Vella, and Dave Kiersh. Editors Brandon Graham and Chris McD consulted their favorites; list and brought in a whole new cross-section of the comics scene. The resulting mash-up of artists, action, styles and energy makes MEATHAUS: S.O.S. an essential read for indie comics lovers and beyond. Featured artists in this volume include: James Jean, Brandon Graham, Shaun Kessler, Farel Dalrymple, Ross Campbell, Corey Lewis, Jared Purrington, Tomer & Asaf Hanuka, Marian Churchland, Matt Furie, Jeff Kilpatrick, Edie Fake, Andy Ristaino, Stefan Gruber, Chris McDonnell, Arik Roper, Christoph Mueller, Rebecca Dart, Ronald Wimberly, Peter Herpich, Sheldon Vella, Jason Sacher, Jesse Moynihan, Jim Campbell, Cameron Michel, Mu Pan, Thomas Herpich, Jim Rugg & Brian Maruca, Jonny B, Dave Kiersh, Dash Shaw, Celia Bullwinkel, Jeremyville, Zohar Lazar, Zachary Baldus, Ralph Bakshi, and Black Dice.
MEATHAUS has been a comics anthology since the year 2000, a website, some art shows, and a plate of novelty shaped cookies. Since its founding days its pages have been filled with comics sensations such as Farel Dalrymple (Pop Gun War, Omega the Unknown), James Jean (Process: Recess, Fables), Tomer Hanuka (Bipolar), Thomas Herpich (Cusp, Gongwanadon), Brandon Graham (Escalator, King City) and Dash Shaw (The Bottomless Belly Button). Now a new gang of young creators have joined the Meathaus to form the largest group of awesome dudes who like to rock yet.
