ATOMISER #1
(Rabid Publishing / PO Box 93 / Paddington, NSW 2021 / AUSTRALIA. Web:

Stratu's
Sick Puppy is dead (Long live
Sick Puppy!), but has been rebirthed in the form of
Atomiser, a new anthology with a different theme each issue. Like its predecessor,
Atomiser features comix of the ugly, sick and depraved variety and publishes some of the top cartoonists in that arena. The theme for this issue is "Ancient" and, under a tasty cover by Marcel Ruijters, you'll find the repugnant, the beautiful and the beautifully repugnant by such folks as Doug Iannucci (whose "Stan and Edna Nats" bit is one of my favorites in this issue), Gregory Mackay, Ryan Vella (my other favorite, a mini-biography of Roman emperor Elagabalus), Mike Diana, Neale Blanden, Anton Emdin (man, this cat is slick), Glenn Smith, Josh Simmons (easily the most repulsive strip this time around), editor Stratu and several others. Also thrown in, and much appreciated, are five pages of reviews of like-minded publications. So, not only is this a fun anthology, but a good resource.
Atomiser isn't for the faint of heart (you know who you are), but if you like a little perversion in your comix, you might want to check it out.
