After surviving 10 "mad" years
in publishing, Stripburger is proud to present another special, all-English
edition. This time the subtitle is "Comics Questioning Sanity" and we're
showing off fresh, radical, non-moralizing and even humorous submissions
that will hopefully shatter the taboo called Madness. Covered by a brainstorming
painting by Matthias Lehmann, the 216 pages - with an introduction by underground
professor Wostok - are filled with stories about living with madness, madness
as a blind belief system, mad society, medical treatment and other acute
psychotic phenomena.
