By Sergio Aragones, with 3-D by Ray Zone (3-D Zone)
ISBN 0-925300-00-4
Since I’m all about everything to do with comics I’ve dredged up this wonderful piece of eye-candy. It is both a splendid example of the periodic fascination our industry has with the somewhat hit-or-miss print process of Three-Dimensional reproduction, and also a superb short collection of the sardonic pictorial lunacy of one of the modern world’s greatest cartoonists.
Both in comic narrative and the infinitely more strenuous field of gag-cartooning Sergio Aragones has produced a vast volumes of excellent work. His darkly skewed sensibilities and grasp of the cosmically absurd, wedded to a totally unique drawing style and frankly terrifying professional discipline have made his (usually) silent doodles a vibrant proof of the maxims that laughter is universal and a picture is worth a thousand words.
This little book features more than sixty of his best, many embracing the theme of 3-D itself, but all dipped in the grim wit of the cynic and absurdist. Shove on your specs and see the gags just jump out at you.
