…and I got a comic in it. It’s called “Awake to the Terror” and it’s the third in my slowly emerging series of comics using all found text. (There’s two more to complete the collection.) I like this one a lot – I was looking at lots of Herge when I drew it. Brian Connell wrote a song in response to this (as he’s done with the previous two found-text comics), and it’s amazing. It’s the title song off his upcoming album. (The first two pieces in our collection are “The Sordid” which was published in 3rd Bed and “Friction Free” which was published in the Indiana Review).H_ngm_n’s dear captain Nate Pritts has this to say about his new issue:

Like, it’s night time & there are these two guys & they’re all like, I’m gonna break into this BANK, yo.  To steal the MON-ey.  And the other guy is like, yo, what about the H_NGM_N?  Like for realz?  And the first guy is like what – that tired old washed up old guy?  Like no one has even SEEN him for like YEARS or something.  Guys probably dead.

And the second guy is like yo.  And so it was that there were guys straight up robbing banks all over the city & when I say bank I mean JOURNALS PUBLISHING BAD POETRY & then there’s like this quick cut, right, where you see like SOMEthing on a balcony or some junk, like high up like looking down all bad@$$ & then these two guys are like about the break into the bank still?  By which I mean BAD POETRY RUNNING RAMPANT all up in the grill of the fair city?  And what?

So that’s it man.  It’s like yo – H_NGM_N #8.  SWOOP.  And like everyone thought he was dead & yo & like that was it?  But he’s here & cleaning house & by house I mean THE LANDSCAPE OF CONTEMPORARY POETRY & by cleaning I mean like straight up cleaning.

So it’s like not only for you but for the city & banks & POETRY & also for yourself that you must needs click yon link & spread the word that, like, if you were afraid to go out at night?  Or read poetry?  There is no more reason to fear ever now:
