The Bummer Trilogy

Reprinting the trio of acclaimed Hectic Planet stories from Dark Horse Presents (1986) #118-120. Stories, Art and Cover by Evan Dorkin. These three 8-page stories, presented here for the first time in one volume, all revolve around future romance gone to hell, spotlighting various members of the Hectic Planet cast. In "5 Years and Counting," hard-luck anti-hero Halby Durzell makes good on a five-year-old romantic promise -- much to his regret. "Shot on Goal" is the serio-comic tale of a romance between the Trombone Girls' Chako Marquez and a mystery man, nipped in the bud by the unlikeliest of events. Rounding out the issue is "Love You Madly, Elsie" (a.k.a. "Scumbag of Oz"), wherein Elsie LeGrande deals with the news that her ex-boyfriend has died. The Bummer Trilogy represents some of Dorkin's strongest narrative work to date and brings all of his existing HP material together under the SLG banner. 24 pages, B&W.
