Apr 29, 2016 Imprint Picks: The Humans Vol. II
The Humans takes me back to being a college student in the later ’80s and getting my mind blown by vintage exploitation movies championed by John Waters in his essays, catalogued in RE/Search Publications’ Incredibly Strange Films, and curated by the crew at Hollywood Book & Poster. An episodic fever dream of drug-fueled hippie flicks, low-budget biker movies, and bad Planet of the Apes sequels, Keenan Marshall Keller and Tom Neely’s first volume of ultra-violent, psychedelic, page-turning, not-for-kids comix immediately had me hooked and the newly released second volume will not disappoint even the most discerning fans of premium trash. If you’re a collector like me, you’ll find a way to get yours signed.
