By Kim Deitch. Underground comics legend Kim Deitch dishes up another fascinating and filmic story from his dreams. The second issue of this Eisner-wining ("Best Single Issue 2002") series begins when Kim's wife buys a costume from an old movie serial shot in New Jersey just before World War One, called Alias the Cat. Gradually, we unearth a tragic story of a Czech, the scion of a well established Bohemian munitions dynasty, who flees his country in the wake of war to avoid the business of killing, to pursue instead a career of creating art through the medium of fireworks. There's plenty of romance, fun and excitement along the way that ultimately lead us to a small New Jersey town known colloquially as Midgetville! 32 pages, B&W. Mature Readers. Cover price $4.95.
