I just got a copy of Chas Fischer's graphic short story, "An
Evening with the Doctor" (Pride of Tacoma Press). It might be
of interest to people interested in weird illustrated books.
The pictures are by Joe Service aka Joe Servello who did a
lot of Dennis McMillan book covers. It's a story about a
bizarre evening with a character very much resembling Hunter
S. Thompson. It's gritty and amusing, if not quite
hard-boiled. Also amusing are two little comic-page
promotions for Dennis McMillan. In one, Janwillem Van De
Wetering explains how he had been a practicing Zen Buddhist,
but his life was changed when McMillan introduced him to
Willeford, so now he's a strict Willefordian. The book is at
that big comic place in LA (Hi something) or you can get it
by e-mailing
chasfischer@earthlink.net; I think it's 10 bucks plus
postage. I'm not an interested party, though a friend to the
author.
