Twice-Told Tales of Unsupervised Existence

Terry LaBan’s Twice-Told Tales of Unsupervised Existence is a single-issue comic from Rip Off Press, launched in 1989 and still ongoing in its own way. LaBan serves as both writer and artist for this self-contained work, which distills a wry, observational humor into a compact package. It matters as a quiet, offbeat artifact of the late-’80s alternative comics scene, capturing a moment when small-press creators could spin a whole world from a single, unhurried story.
