# 1

One of the best things I ever got in the mail. R2-D2 is in an indie band named “Hyper Truck” and these comics tell the story of the band. Seems silly, but the format allows a lot of fun to be poked and good times ensue. I don’t wanna give away the ending, but Darth Vader makes an appearance. I believe there are more issues of this zine, so I’ve named this listing as #1 even though it doesn’t say that anywhere.

This is a great little book of cartoons and writings. The style is unique, with high contrast and clean lines. The whole book is very well put together. The cover is printed in yellow, and it the first edition the cover is embossed. Some personal bits, some funny bits, and allover good stuff.

I own a re-issue copy of Defy #6. I wish I had the original. This zine is a hard look at what was widely hailed as the east coast’s crown jewel of street skating in the early 90s. Love Park was and still has a sweet spot for anyone who skated there. There were some foul deeds, part of it’s legend, and some amazing skateboarding. Ed takes a long hard look, and bravely tells it like it is, warts and all.
