Hey Kids! FREE SHAM COMIC!
One of the toughest jobs I have selling comics is describing
exactly what SHAM Comics is all about. I can go on and on about how they are
based on actual Golden Age comic books that are in Public Domain. I can explain
that I remove all the original text and rewrite the stories to be just as wild
and satiric as I can make them, all the while still telling a coherent story. I
can mention that I rewrite the letter columns and the vintage ads too. I can
even claim that the results are hilarious. But, it’s all just talk. The thing
that consistently sells SHAM Comics to the unsuspecting masses is reading a
copy of the actual book. Once a reader starts a copy, they can’t put it down, and
they want more of them.
With that in mind, I’m offering new readers a chance to try
one on me. The latest issue, SHAM Comics Splotlite #1 featuring Johnny
Sassback, The Smart Ass Detective, is available as a free download from
IndyPlanet. Read it at your
leisure
on your own device. If you find the humor to
your taste, order some more. All
the regular issues are available in digital and print editions. So follow the link in the left column. Give
it a try. What have you got to lose?
