Hotwire the third leaps off the page from the get-go with David Sandlin’s “Infernal Combustion,” about boozing it up in a broke-down caddy, and Tim Lane’s bit of freight-hopping grit, “Spike.” Hotwire Captain Glenn Head spins the biography of German surrealist Hans Bellmer as a down and out Vaudevillian in decadent Weimar Berlin. R. Sikoryak turns in a brand new batch of "Masterpiece Comics", as Dennis the Menace stars as Prince Hamlet! You will be astounded by the massive 6-page color foldout by Steven Cerio - "The Magnificent Pigtail Shadow".
There’s also more knockout work and crazy visuals by Mark Dean Veca, Johnny (Angry Youth Comix) Ryan, Mats?!, Max Andersson, Sam Henderson, Stephane Blanquet, Doug Allen, Michael (Tales Designed to Thrizzle) Kupperman, Danny Hellman, Mack White, David Paleo, Chadwick Whitehead, Onsmith, Karl Wills and Jayr Pulga.
"The best argument that the underground tradition is still alive is Hotwire Comics… Hotwire Comics is a visual assault, abrasive, confrontational, willing to poke and prod the audience: a real live wire that can shock. Everything a good underground comic book should be." --Jeet Heer - Comics Comics
"The third volume of this comics anthology is a whirl-a-gig of vivid color, giddy fun, black angst, and hauntingly disturbing images... The volume brings together carefully crafted stories with eye-searing artwork, packed with scatological humor, violence, and disquieting sexual acts... Hotwire Comics #3 is not for the faint of heart, but those who love underground comics or want an introduction to that world as it stands today, will embrace the volume." --Publishers Weekly
"A boon for fans of a certain kind of energetic, restless, profane comic book making—for the rest of us it's an exquisitely curated, controlled visit to that particular comics world." --Tom Spurgeon, The Comics Reporter
