P. Croome's How Dee #1
In "The Dream," Peter Croome dives into a self-reflexive comic strip where he’s stuck at his drawing table, wrestling with creative block. When his friend Fred shows up, Peter rejects the idea of writing something overly analytical, only to find a finished, cliched comic about making comics already waiting on his desk—prompting a quick, frustrated toss. A 75-cent Canadian comic from 1992, this issue features all art and writing by Peter Croome, with cover art by Croome as well.
