Mullets
Collected for the first time, here are all 60 weeks of full-color dailies and Sundays of the short-lived, much-missed, syndicated newspaper strip “Mullets,” along with a special 12-page bonus sequel by Luke McGarry.
Quite simply, it’s the funniest comic strip you never read.
Steve McGarry and Rick Stromoski are both recipients of the prestigious NCS Silver T-Square, which is awarded for “outstanding dedication to the profession of cartooning.” Their unprecedented commitment to their craft was exemplified by their quest for authenticity when they created “Mullets.”
Artist and writer of the syndicated comic strips “Biographic,” “Kid Town,” “Badlands” and “Trivquiz,” Steve McGarry is a native of Manchester, England, and a longtime resident of Southern California. A former record sleeve designer, his sports and entertainment features appear in newspapers and magazines worldwide and he has worked as a story artist on a number of movies, including “Despicable Me 2” and “Minions.” He was the first-ever artist to be named Illustrator of the Year by both the National Cartoonists Society and the Australian Cartoonists Association, and the record sleeve he designed for Joy Division went on display at The Museum of Modern Art in New York. To prepare for his role in creating “Mullets,” his silvery locks were abandoned in favor of a “Kentucky waterfall” cascade, and a steady daily diet of beer and nachos – consumed purely in the name of research – transformed his once-chiseled physique into a paunchy lump of lard. Displaying an astounding grasp of the genre, he wrote the scripts if he got around to it and if there was nothing much on TV.
Winner of three National Cartoonists Society division awards for his distinctive art, Rick Stromoski is the creator of the daily comic strip “Soup to Nutz,” a successful magazine and greeting cards illustrator. and author of numerous children’s books, including the “Schnozzer & Tatertoes” series. Gripped by the onset of mulletmania, he abruptly abandoned the luxury of his 19th century Connecticut home, pawned his golf clubs and installed the family in a battered old airstream trailer at the bottom of his garden, where he spent his days drawing the “Mullets” cartoon strip, perfecting the art of beercan sculpture, and conducting experiments with pork rinds.
Three times NCS Illustrator of the Year, author of “Keep It Down Up There,” Luke McGarry is a Los Angeles-based cartoonist whose clients include MAD Magazine, The New Yorker, Tenacious D and Coachella. Honorary mullet status had been conferred upon him because his bleach-blonde hair and leather jacket, combined with regular appearances at Comic Conventions, means people frequently ask him if he’s cosplaying as Kiefer Sutherland in “Lost Boys,” a movie with more mullets than a busload of Argentinian soccer players.
Megaton Man: The Complete Megaton Man Universe Volume One: The 1980s
Introduction by Bill Morrison (The Simpsons, Bongo Comics) and foreword by Chris Ecker (Big Bang, Now Comics).
False Flag
Danial Smith led a quiet and secluded life in his rural Michigan town. That quiet seclusion is shattered when a mass shooter kills his son, Robert, and 12 others. The mass shooting rocks the town. Daniel mourns the loss of his son in his own way, set on business as usual as the town tries reaching out. Daniel’s attempts at mourning are interrupted when Henry Perkins, a burgeoning conspiracy theory podcaster, arrives in his small town and demands proof the tragedy occurred.
The story touches on a controversial and sensitive topic and I understand this might be hard for a lot of people to ingest. At the core of the story, it’s about what happens when you interrupt the grieving process. Worse, is what happens when the grieving process of a parent who lost a child in a mass shooting is interrupted. FALSE FLAG also explores what happens when the lies you’ve told are exposed, and the dangers of gaslighting in our media ecosphere. Any parent might empathize with the characters in this story, from the survivors to those who’d lost the most.
This was one of the toughest stories that I’d written, let alone illustrated. I took a horror comic approach as Daniel is haunted by the ghost of his son, and hounded by the monster Henry. With your support, we can get the first of five issues in your hands, and the next issue moving forward.

Friday Night Bigfoot – Issue #1
In 1985, a Portland wrestling promoter recruits Bigfoot to save his family’s struggling promotion. Co-created by Dave “Gangrel” Heath!
Back in 2016, we launched a series called Tales From The Road, which featured short fictional comic book stories co-created by professional wrestlers.
One of those stories, co-created by wrestling legend Dave “Gangrel” Heath, featured a story about a struggling wrestling promoter in Portland who stumbles upon the legendary Bigfoot. The story was only six pages but it was very well received. And Gangrel and I always knew we wanted to come back to that concept because there was so much you could do with it as an ongoing series.
So we re-imagined this concept outside of the Headlocked Universe and made it a standalone series.
And here we are.
Set in 1980’s Portland, Friday Night Bigfoot is the story of the Stanton family. They run Portland Power Pro Wrestling, a once-thriving family-owned wrestling promotion that has been entertaining the good fans of the Pacific Northwest for many years.
However, since the passing of the promotion’s founder, Don Stanton, the rest of the family has been struggling to keep it afloat. Gates are down, the locker room is unhappy, and competitors – both local and national – are at the gates.
Much of the weight of this falls on Andrew, the middle child of the Stanton family. Andrew has taken over the promoting duties since the passing of his father while his older brother (Jack) and younger brother (Eddie) both wrestle for the promotion.
With the promotion facing bankruptcy and challenges on all sides, Andrew stumbles across Bigfoot. Can Bigfoot help turn the tide in a bitter wrestling war? And after years of living in the wilderness, can the fabled cryptid handle being thrust into the spotlight? Will the bright lights and fame of wrestling stardom go to his head?
This one is a lot of fun.
Feast is a collection of polyamory comics: quests of self-discovery while dating more than one partner, fairytales of true love triads, and misadventures with magical metamours.
A pair of monster hunters encounter a harpy polycule, a weary fisherwoman waits for her selkie love to return from her partners at sea, and a trio of rogues realise that their powers are stronger when united (even if two of them hate each other’s guts).
Take a seat at the table and tuck into these eleven tales that explore and celebrate consensual non-monogamy, while still giving a taste of the struggles, hardships, and obstacles that come from entanglements with multiple adventurers.
Suitable for young adults
