(Drag City) Plastic
Crimewave undoubtedly produces his best issue yet, in part by making his own portrait
illustrations, annotated comic book collages, and geeked out interviews (with
Rodriguez, Poppy Family and Arthur Brown) more special by bringing in a
cornucopia of other writers and illustrators (including Ave Spivak!), to give
this psychedlic journal of celestial lowbrow-ism the kind of depth and texture
that got lost when it was more of a one-man band. And Plastic’s curatorship of
the insert CD this time takes his skills to new heights – what a crazy
collection of international otherworldliness! Too many highlights in this issue
to list, but I expecially like the tributes to Curtis Knight, John Byrne, Black
Widow, Henry Darger, and Status Quo groupies.
