Steve Lafler Celebrates New Series Death in Oaxaca #1 (Alternative Comics) with two Bay Area Appearances
The mundane, the sublime and the bizarre show up in their best party attire in the new comic book series from the creator of Dog Boy and Bughouse.Two expats move to remote Oaxaca, the fabled highland city in southern Mexico. Rex, earnest yet duplicitous, flees from mid-life crisis and fear of death. Beautiful Gertie, cynical but honest, is just plain bored and craves adventure. They contend with Lucha Libre wrestlers and an ancient vampire who prefers chicken, and enjoy the best fresh corn tortillas on the planet.

I’ve been translating my new comic book “Death in Oaxaca” into Spanish. Holy smokes it’s a lotta work — translating, lettering, scanning, layout. Who knew? Well worth it thought, the book will appear in a print edition in English, as well as Spanish and English ebook editions.

My 50 page super hero parody Cat Suit is out today from Alternative Comics as an Ebook at this link. You can choose whether to buy it from Amazon or Comixology. It’s a darn funny book, full of snappy one liners and hilarity.
Here’s the rap:
What kind of whack job would put on a mask and a skin-tight suit and head out into the city after midnight? I mean, what is this guy really up to? What pathology, what perverse proclivity are we dealing with here? Is he fighting crime? Of course not, he’s just going clubbing—and he’s frankly perplexed when the aggressive bar flies & drunks single him out. The guy in question is Manx, a costumed cat man.
And here we have a nice Podcast review of Cat Suit from “Drunk on Comics”. These are clever, funny and smart guys, sort of a Car Talk approach to comics reviewing, but I will say their colloquial conversation on the merits of my work reveals as much about their bias as it does about my efforts.
