Hicksville GN (2001) comic books 2001-2003

1st printing. Story and art by Dylan Horrocks. First Drawn & Quarterly printing - a perfect companion for Horrocks' new title, Atlas! In Hicksville, world-famous cartoonist Dick Burger has earned millions and become the most powerful man in the comics industry. However, behind his rapid rise to success, there lies a dark and terrible secret, as biographer Leonard Batts discovers when he visits Burger's hometown in remote New Zealand. For Hicksville is no ordinary small town. In Hicksville sheep farmers and fishermen argue the relative merits of early newspaper strips, while in the local bookshop and library, obscure mongolian mini-comics share the shelves with a complete run of Action Comics. But why does everyone there seem to hate Dick Burger? Hicksville collects the main storyline from the Ignatz Award-nominated comic series Pickle, and includes nearly 50 pages of new or revised material. Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 208 pages, B&W. Cover price $19.95.
