Sun Also Rises
by Ernest HemingwayPublished in 1926 to explosive acclaim, The Sun Also Rises stands as perhaps the most impressive first novel ever written by an American writer. A roman à clef about a group of American and English expatriates on an excursion from Paris's Left Bank to Pamplona for the July fiesta and its climactic bull fight, a journey from the center of a civilization spiritually bankrupted by the First World War to a vital, God-haunted world in which faith and honor have yet to lose their currency, the novel captured for the generation that would come to be called "Lost" the spirit of its age, and marked Ernest Hemingway as the preeminent writer of his time.

Humor Can Be Funny
by Sam HendersonSam Henderson's early minicomics and self-published Magic Whistle comic all collected under one cover. <P><P>Henderson's drawing is intentionally crude, but it has the same kind of energy you see in the work of today's best gag cartoonists, whose drawing also tends to be a little basic. Extremely low-brow humor that almost parodies low-brow humor - it's enjoyable on either level.
Magic Whistle #7

He's added a few sketchbook pages and some longer pieces such as the full color 24-page "The Hamburger Joe Story. " Don't worry, Sam hasn't gone artsy-fartsy or anything - it's still the same kind of hilarity which has earned him Harvey and Emmy nominations. . . plus the usual ass or two.

Sam Henderson is the type of creative genius that shines, ne¿ flourishes in the shadowy backwaters of Comic Books, America¿s Secret Pop-Culture Closet. Sam creates squiggly doodles instantly recognizable as equal parts inane and brilliant. The Magic Whistle is like Krazy Kat, but for stupid people. No amount of praise can be heaped upon Henderson. He is one of the most original voices in contemporary American comics. I SAY ALL THIS with complete honesty, though anyone who looks at a Henderson comic for the first time will assume I¿m huffing bath grouting. Describing The Magic Whistle is like going to the Zoo to see an earthworm. It takes too damn long and wastes everybody¿s time. Just go get Sam Henderson¿s Magic Whistle #12. You will see the highest vintage of dick and fart jokes humanity ever produced. " -- UnkieDev, The Forbidden Planet's Daily Planet 32 page black and white comic with color covers
