Fallende M�nner - Don DeLillo und 9/11

[robinlandseadel at comcast.net]

I've seen it, it's great and scary & weird and apocalyptic and all that. But I haven't bought it, and probably should. All them Freeks at Last Gasp and other fine artistes behind "Underground Comix" reach an apogee (of sorts) with Art Spiegleman. [Frankly, I think they reached their apogee with "Leather Nun", but there you are] Makes me long for my old copies of "Young Lust". A-a-and if you don't think there are a pages of that kinda swill filling up pages pf Gravity's Rainbow---well read it again (it's sure reading different after Against the Day). Cause Underground Comix, and comic book stylings are all over that perennial doorstop.
