ONE OF US #2
($1.00 from Alex Colvin / 2920 37th Ave. South / Minneapolis, MN / 55406 USA. Web:

This is a goofy comic by Alex Colvin featuring off-kilter humor stories. The longest story has to do with a Ramones reunion tour (sans Joey and Dee Dee) and a formula for reanimating the dead. Okay, sure, the obvious result of those elements does occur but it's not really the thrust of the story. There's a pretty funny turn of events that leads to some unusual sights. The next story, "What If the World Ended with Melting Trees?", reads like a great dream (which it may be) or perhaps a trip (which it may also be). Closing out the issue are a bizarre text story about a killer moustache (I don't know if it's completely successful but there are some funny bits. I could easily see it as a short film.) and a funny (in a non sequitur kind of way) one-pager that's either by Lindsay or is a jam between the two. And on the back cover: a scary moustache.
