Ralph Snart Adventures: Comic Collection #1
The fabled story of a drunken crazy man finally returns home. After 20 years under the NOW Comics imprint, Ralph Snart Adventures is now being published by it's creator, Marc Hansen. Ralph Snart was spawned during Black & White Explosion of the mid-80 s, when it was first published in Tony Caputo's comics fanzine Fangraphix. After that, it was a regular fixture of NOW Comic's from 1986 through 1993 with over one million issues in circulation. Ralph Snart Adventures is the story of a mild-mannered accountant gone mad. Readers enter Ralph's fantasy otherworld while he remains locked up in the Montgomery Home for the Really Insane, where the pressures of reality often overwhelmed him, resulting in outrageous satirical escapades. This book will include stories from Volumes 4 and 5 of the regular monthly series from 1992-3. Also included are two "lost" episodes that will be in print for the first time, plus four previously unpublished covers from that period.

i like this book, but i also didn't like this book.
i picked it up because of a friend had told me about it. I've enjoyed other things he has turned me on to so i figured it was a sure thing. I saw it at the store and flipping through it i was hooked.
I love the expressive style the artist uses. Everything is so fluid and flows across the page like water. People in the book don't simply become angry, they grow twenty feet tall and their mouth emcompasses an entire page! It's the kind of art i find myself doing more and more, and what isn't to like about a book we ourselves could have done?
But as i actully read it i grew less and less intrested in it. The stories just didn't hook me in. I wonder if perhaps they would have been more relivent if i had read them when they were first published, rather then 20 years later?
All and all this book was ok. I think I will still flip through it everyonce and awhile, but i'm not sure i'll be rereading it, or buying more collections.
