ZZZZZZ Elvis!






This jam with Mike Honeycutt was published by Starhead Comix in Seattle in 1985. Mike was one of the Tennessee artists who came into the late Newave with Bob X and XNO. They had a regional brand of comix with a flavor of grotesque surrealism and rich, energetic visuals.

I was a Beatles guy, so Elvis to me was always sort of a sad and comical figure. His deification by a significant portion of the world still puzzles me to this day. For Honeycutt, who lived in Elvis country, this must've been an extra strange comic in which to participate. But I'm glad he did.
