Crickets #2
by Sammy Harkham
The wait is over. It's been well over a year since this series
premiered, and we were wondering if it was going to continue, or
not.
Well, no more! This issue -- which, according to the front cover,
features "generals, pregnant teenagers, cartoonists, golems, prophets
and boners" -- primarily consists of the second chapter of "Black
Death", but there are a half dozen or so additional shorts that are a
lot of fun and help make up for the long wait. It's like they
say:
"You can't rush quality." This work is in the "comics purist" school:
every line, from cover to cover, including the credits and even the
letters page, is hand drawn.

D
& Q sez:
Crickets #2
features the highly anticipated second installment in Sammy Harkham's
new ongoing serial Black Death as well as a number of shorter strips
that showcase the acclaimed young artist's sharp wit and quirky sense
of humour. Begun in the first issue, Black Death follows the adventures
of a curiously indestructable man shot full of arrows and a mute Golem
as they wander in the woods together, blundering through their
encounters with its strange and isolated inhabitants. In the unrelated
shorter strips, Harkham, publisher of the influential comics anthology Kramer's
Ergot, takes advantage of the opportunity to exercise his
considerable imagination on a wide range of topics, from his
autobiographical adventures on a signing tour to the frustrated comic
aspirations of the emperor Napoleon.
