DEATH TO SUPERMAN
NZ'ers are not as up on comix as the rest of the world. Lack of availability, high prices, and the Indecent Publications Tribunal haven't helped but the big bastard problem is ignorance. Wall no more. C One of the top comix out at the moment is Hate by American Peter Bagge (pronounced BAG, not Baggie "I ain't no stinkin' Dago"), it follows the life of an average American . . . A loser-youth Buddy Bradley and those around him. Up till now you've been able to see Buddy get kicked outta home, find a shitty flat, find a shittier job, find a neurotic girly, lose the neurotic girly, discover his brother is a fascist, finally get laid. The list goes on. Y'see each Hate is self contained, yet follows from rhe last, giving the • characters that extra dimension of human development that their TV counterparts lack. Let's face it, Bart's balls are never going to drop. Hate N 0.6 deals with Buddy having to meet his G's parents. The father is yer laid back, self-made, piss-sinking, white collar, good-guy type, whereas the mother is a full on pretentious snob, wannabe-ruling-class bitch who brings out the psychotic in her daughter. Iwenty-six pages of amusing social commentary for the same price as a couple of Big Macs, and it can be digested more than once! Hate is available from Mark 1 comics. , ■
