By Kim Deitch. More of that sweet, sweet chaos from the pen of one of underground comics' most revered cartoonists -- Kim Deitch! Now that his Fantagraphics series "The Mishkin Saga" (named one of the 100 greatest comics of this past century by The Comics Journal) will be collected as a hardcover book by Pantheon (publisher of Jimmy Corrigan and David Boring) in late 2002, there'll be no stopping the Waldo Train. In the all-new The Stuff of Dreams, the plot spirals out of collecting stuff and the bizarre mania that so often seems to go with it. It starts with an encounter at a flea market and evolves into a wild south sea island yarn complete with angry volcano and a big, fat, juicy part for the big star out at Deitch studios, the villain of the piece, Waldo the Cat. Lots of sex, exploitation, violence and a few other surprises along the way including a big cash offer! 32 pages, B&W. Mature Readers. Cover price $3.95.
