Volume 1 - 1st printing. "Bad Company!" By Arkás. A Lifer sentenced to 622 years? And the best years of his life, too! Just think how hight the rents will be by the time he gets out! Because, of course, life expectancy is rising all the time... But there's worse than that. Worse than weeks of solitary confinement, reading War and Peace (in Braille) over and over again; worse than prison cooking (the cause of many riots); worse than the prison doctor, who meticulously examines his patients - before killing them; what could be worse than all of that? It's Montecristo the rat! In the darkest hours he is there, ready to remind you of everything you are trying to forget. He holds all of the aces in the game of sarcasm... And has another one up his sleeve! Black humor of the wittiest kind: It's Arkás at his best and most intelligent! Softcover (Horizontal Format), 9-in. x 6 1/2-in., 80 pages, full color.

Volume 2 - 1st printing. "A Rat in My Soup!" By Arkás. Life imprisonment. The severest punishment. More exactly, 622 years of jail all as the result of a miscarriage of justice. The only means of escape is laughter. Bitter, subversive, ironic. The lifer wears glasses with such thick lenses that his eyes can hardly be seen. This makes him seem somewhat awkward and yet erudite. His company is a fat and dirty but friendly rat who knows what lies "beneath things," and demolishes any self-deception with his caustic amoral comments. Around them there is a microcosm of unjust rules, senseless regulations, characters in a deadlock. In a series with a strong philosophical touch, Arkás deals with the question of freedom within the world of the prison. Softcover (Horizontal Format), 9-in. x 6 1/2-in., 80 pages, full color.
