It all begins with a generation of artists who view their life's work as dismal failures and a waste of that life...in service to a medium that refuses to die, grinding its way through generation after generation...until it collides with creatives who can't even begin to imagine why anyone would ever want to do anything else. This is the history of comic books, alongside the misbegotten midwife whose growth, whose refusal to truly grow, serves as its decades-long and distorted mirror... Fandom. Collects HEY KIDS! COMICS!

Graphically experimental, narratively daring and visually explosive, Howard Chaykin’s Time2 was a work ahead of its time. Now, to commemorate the project’s 35th anniversary with the arrival of its long-awaited conclusion...it still is.In addition to remastered versions of the long-out-of-print first two volumes, The Epiphany and The Satisfaction of Black Mariah, the Time2 Omnibus completes the trilogy with the new 48-page volume Hallowed Ground0, plus many never-before-seen extras from the project.

Digging deeper into the sordid, seedy, and always entertaining lives of the men and women who built the comic book business, volume two of Howard Chaykin's acclaimed Comics à clef tells the story of those who pushed the boundaries of the lowest common denominator-at their peril -and those happy enough to ride the waves others created. Along the way there's exploitation, Blaxploitation, custom toilet paper, death at the dinner table and plenty more as fans turn pro and pros turn bitter. Collects HEY KIDS! COMICS!
