Cover by Eddie Campbell. You know when you fill up your tank, and the little arrow in your fuel gauge goes beyond the full mark? That feeling like you've got enough gas to go around the globe twice, only stopping for things like Jolt cola and pecan logs? That's how Schreck feels editing DHP, 'cause this issue is more than full. First up, he's got the penultimate chapter of the spaghetti-western/samurai spoof, "A Pot Full of Noodles," by Rennie and Langridge, in which The Kabuki Kid and his faithful sidekick Lu-Win encounter the Evil Factory Man and his Droidzilloid -- fast, furious, and fun!

And finally, in "The Picture of Doreen Grey" the Kid goes Eyeballs-to-the-wall in an all-out assault against the Body Corporation, while Joe's lost in his own nirvana. So Schreck tears outta this issue with his gauge still past full, and he's burning rubber heading toward the big five-part DHP 100 blowout! If you're real nice, he'll let you ride shotgun! B&W.

Cover by Eric White. The Brits and the Yanks battle it out for top billing in DHP #99! The Red Coats fire the first two shots in the form of award-winning author Jamie Delano (Hellblazer, Animal Man) and the enigmatic Shane Oakley! They offer up a macabre tale of a father so disaffected with his own life that he's willing to watch his son suffer a fate worse still, in "The Crack." America counters with the short-short, "My Mentor," in which the master of autobiografix, Harvey Pekar, traces the origins of his long-time connection with jazz, aided by the genius that is Joe Sacco. Then it's back to Britain for the final segment of the "Kabuki Kid," by Gordon Rennie and Roger Langridge. No genre's safe from the wicked wit of the wildest Wu-Shu warrior in this all-out assault on Hollywood! And wrapping up the battle comes a Dark Horse from Down Under, the inimitable Eddie Campbell, who wraps up "The Picture of Doreen Grey" with Joe Theseus contemplating godhood, the Kid pondering motherhood, and a major player getting a bullet in the face. So who takes top billing? That's for you to decide! B&W. Cover price $2.50.
