Where to pick up a copy of How Loathsome?


For those in the Bay Area, we recommend checking out either of these fine stores -


http://www.isotopecomics.com/ The infamous 'comic book lounge' of San Francisco always has a welcoming place for you on the couch.
Proprietor James Sime is rumored to be a longtime fan of How Loathsome, and has showed his support with everything from throwing us a launch party, to making sure his customers check out the book. Recently voted 'Best of the Bay', and well deserved! Isotope truly rocks, supporting the industry with a yearly mini-comic award for our fellow photo-copy and stapler slaves, and throw the most kick-ass APE Aftermath party imaginable. (http://www.comic-con.org/)

http://www.comicrelief.net/ Rory Root's a bay area legend, and many local creators have a soft place in their hearts for both him and his Berkeley store. He's a huge supporter of independant as well as mainstream books, and has one of the best porn sections in any comicbook store anywhere! (Also conveniently located next to a brilliant import record store. Alright, I just like it because they sell a ton of brit-pop.)


Otherwise, ask your local comic book store to stock How Loathsome, or e-mail us if you really can't get ahold of a copy and we'll hook you up directly!



Ted Naifeh is a busy artist. Between writing and drawing comics for Oni Press he also appears in gallery shows and may someday find the time to sleep.

Tristan Crane hides in San Francisco. Can be found drinking in dive bars, scribbling down nasty stories, and taking photographs in the dark basements of nightclubs with lost waifs and shady companions.

Neko do weird things with magic glowing boxes to support their magic glowing box habit. They also may know Tristan's secret, but aren't telling without a dollar.

except the part about the neko. dear god, who would want that responsibility?
