Aargh! #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeA landmark protest comic from 1988, this one-shot anthology was published by Mad Love Publishing under the banner 'Artists Against Rampant Government Homophobia' (AARGH!). It features contributions from a wide array of underground and alternative cartoonists, including Harvey Pekar, and characters like Hopey, Maggie, and Krazy Kat appear in various strips, all united in opposition to homophobic policies and attitudes of the era. The collection stands as a powerful historical artifact of comics activism and community solidarity during the late 1980s AIDS crisis and culture wars.
In "The Mirror of Love," Ray shares a strange, unsettling story with Harvey about a man named Don the Burp from Cleveland—someone whose actions defy easy explanation. Written by Harvey Pekar and illustrated by Joe Zabel, with inks by Gary Dumm and lettering by Dumm, this 1988 issue features a haunting, introspective tone, all rendered with the distinctive flair of Dave McKean’s cover art.
In this quiet, observant two-pager from Aargh! #nn, Ray shares a curious anecdote with Harvey about a man named Don the Burp from Cleveland—someone whose unusual interactions with strangers hint at a deeper, more unexpected connection. Written with a wry, grounded tone, the story lingers on the quiet strangeness of human connection, leaving the full meaning just out of reach.
