IGOR: FIXED BY FRANKENSTEINS in stores October 10 from Slave Labor Graphics and FREE paper toy




IGOR: FIXED BY FRANKENSTEINS in stores October 10 from Slave Labor Graphics and FREE paper toy
My new 80 page GN with artist Chris Grine (Chicken Hare) “Igor: Fixed by Frankensteins” comes out this
Wednesday with the remarkably reasonable price tag of $5.95. Here’s the description from the
publisher:

“Everyone's favorite deaf, mute hunchback is back for another series of adventures. In Fixed by Frankensteins, Igor finds himself in another series of odd predicaments and laughs can only ensue. This volume of Igor is drawn by Eisner Award nominated Chris Grine (Chicken Hare) Igor: Fixed by Frankensteins is hilarious, gross, weird, unexpected and quite possibly the Citizen Cane of baled, mute, mutant hunchback comics. Introduction by Batton Lash.”

“A funny and compelling love story coupled with beautiful art. Oh wait, I
almost forgot to mention it’s also completely deranged and more twisted than
a hyena’s intestines.”

- Kerry Callen, creator of Halo and Sprocket


“Not since Jim Woodring’s work have I seen such surreal landscapes, visual puns, bizarre juxtaposition of images, and stream of consciousness used so effectively in comics.”

- Batton Lash, from his intro


As a gift to anyone who ordered IFBF or even if you don’t buy the book, we’re giving away a free Igor paper toy (above) designed by Matt Hawkins at CUSTOM PAPER TOYS. If the paper toy image posted here is too low res, just hop over to Matt’s www.custompapertoys.com where Igor is Matt’s “custom
Paper toy of the month.”
For those attending SPX: The first person to walk up with one of these things successfully assembled, gets a free copy of the book. Once you see two on the table, the free copies have all been given away.
Also, anyone who buys the book at SPX gets a free full color print of the paper toy, so bring a bottle of glue and something sharp.
