Printed Matter is pleased to announce the newest title in its publication series, Uranus #1 by Carlo Quispe, Mike Diana, and Shane Uht. Please join us and the artists for a reception on Thursday, September 2nd, from 5-7 PM. Printed Matter is located at 195 Tenth Avenue between 21st and 22nd streets in New York City.
Within the pages of their collaborative "Gay Love Comix," Carlo Quispe, Mike Diana, and Shane Uht let their subconscious desires and fantasies roam freely, gleefully blurring distinctions between pleasure and pain, the public and the private, the sacred and the profane. Quickly-executed ink drawings, in which draftsmanship is sacrificed for rawness and spontaneity, give visual manifestation to situations rarely seen in comics of any kind: lovers arguing over their addictions and engaging in explicit sex acts involving razor blades, an "electric eel robot", and - perhaps most shockingly - genuine and candidly-expressed affection for one another.
Published by Printed Matter, Uranus #1 is a 67 page, soft-cover book in black and white. It retails for $15 and is available in store and online here. Please call the store at 212-925-0325 or email orders@printedmatter.org to arrange for signed copies for those who cannot attend.
