"YOW!" indeed

Here's a peek at our advance copies of YOW!: The John Stanley Library Grab-Bag, Drawn & Quarterly's Free Comic Book Day comic.

This year's free comic features an exciting assortment of stories written and (mostly) drawn by the stellar Stanley. They're all pretty great, but my favorite out of this bunch is a story from Choo-Choo Charlie #1 (and only!) Choo-Choo was the mascot for Good & Plenty licorice, and this story certainly IS plenty of good! But was Stanley responsible for drawing as well as writing this comic? Well, a side-by-side comparison of the alligator that hijacks Charlie's locomotive (seriously, it's a great story!) and Melvin's pet crocodile Cleopatra would certainly seem to confirm that these two critters were drawn by the same hand. What do you think, sharp-eyed Stanley fans?



Remember to visit your local comics retailer on May 1st to pick up this little gem and all the other free comics... and to pledge your solidarity with the workers of the comic book industry! Avanti popolo!
