Or Else: Glenn Ganges in the Wild Kingdom Issue 4

Or Else #4

by Kevin Huizenga

This issue of Or Else checks in at a big 100 pages. It's squarebound and the page size is now "digest size," which is larger than the last two issues, which were "mini comic" size. The theme this time around seems to be nature in society, a sort of turning of the tables. One of the classic themes of literature has always been "man vs. nature." But, in today's day and age, it seems, this battle has been won, that it's "old hat." It's more like "nature vs. man" with nature as the challenger, or nature in the world of man, struggling for a place in a world gone man! There is in this issue, as in all issues of Or Else, plenty of food for thought, a feast in fact!

About the author

Kevin Huizenga was born in 1977 in Harvey, IL and spent most of his childhood in South Holland, IL, near Chicago. He attended college in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and moved to St. Louis in 2000 where he lives and works.

He began drawing comics in high school, xeroxing his first issue (with friends) at the neighborhood Jewel Osco in 1993. Since that time he's made approximately 30 more. In 2001 the Comics Journal named him "Minimalism Cartoonist of the Year" and called #14 of his "Supermonster" mini-comic series "one of the best comics of any kind released in 2001."

In 2001 he also started the Catastrophe Shop http://www.usscatastrophe.com, an online shop for self-published mini-comics (now run by Dan Zettwoch http://www.usscatastrophe.com/zettwoch/).

if i ever imagine myself as a comic book writer/artist, this is what i imagine i would create. it's like a lot of my secret silly thoughts on paper. it's uncannily awesome.
