Mel Cool: Mall Cop Mini-Comic Special
I love Mel Cool. This
incredibly cinematic comic had me chuckling at every page. In this issue, Mel apprehends
"a combination valley girl and rebellious sociopath" who is caught red-handed
swiping Massive Mall Shopping Bags. Even wackier comedy ensues when the valley girl
absconds with Mel’s securi-car and he has to rescue the little ditz.
Jaschek’s script and Secrease’s pencils work perfectly together and pack laughs throughout the twelve brief pages of story. If you’re at all a fan of well-written and illustrated humor comics you owe it to yourself to check out this digest-sized comic and Slightly Bent Comics #1 and #2.
This mini came out in 1995 so you probably won’t find it in any comic shop but you can write to Slightly Bent Entertainment, P.O. Box 39336, St. Louis, MO 63139 and order your very own copy.
