Queen of the Black Black, by Megan Kelso, 160 pages, b/w with color insert, $12.95, Highwater Books James Kochalka, besides being King of All Media in Burlington, Vermont, has been making waves in the national underground comics and music scenes for a couple of years. Combining a philosopher's reflection with an adolescent's love of scatology, James has become the "enfant terrible" of both industries. His comics are filled with a playful whimsy mixed with a cold analytical sense that combines for an uproarious experience. James' latest graphic novel, Tiny Bubbles (Highwater Books, 1998), features his autiobiographical character, Magic Boy, experiencing bouts of hypochondria and technophobia as he deals with a clingy action-painting robot and a fed-up girlfriend. "There's a casual familiarity in his tales, resulting in an off-the-cuff charm that seems to be Kochalka's greatest asset." - Ray Mescallado, The Comics Journal "Primitive, childlike and profane." - The Village Voice Tiny Bubbles, by James Kochalka, 192 pages, b/w, $12.95, Highwater Books For more information contact: Tom Devlin, Highwater Books, tom@highwaterbooks.com Coming to a city near you!
