Cholly & Flytrap: Center City
Cholly and Center City is a classic film noir action-adventure lovingly composed and hand-painted by Marvel Comics superstar ARTHUR SUYDAM.Sin City-style frantic pacing, grim tension, intrigue and edgy humor abound in this creative masterpiece. Set in a wacked-out world, Center City is the belly-button lint of surviving society, a final human outpost oozing crime and tension between man and machine. Against this backdrop, comicdom’s most unique anti-heroes, Cholly and Flytrap, find themselves knee-deep in a mucky feud between the city’s two power the Siamese-twin Hobbs Brothers and paranoid paraplegic millionaire Ameil Luvitz. When sumo-master Flytrap is mistakenly shanghaied and forced into slavery in a secret fight world, his partner Cholly’s odyssey to rescue him from certain doom begins. A groundbreaking and compelling epic told by the ultimate storyteller!

Before Alan Moore, before Frank Miller, there was Arthur Suydam, pushing the boundaries of the comic medium in Heavy Metal and Epic Illustrated magazines in the late 70's/ early 80's. Cholly & Flytrap: Center City is a darkly humourous and somewhat surreal punk sci-fi western/gangster tale set in a dystopian future or parallel Earth. "It doesn't get more noir than this".
I think it's a pity that Radical didn't also include the original handful of one-of skits involving our dynamic duo (e.g. 'A Little Love A Little Hate' 'The Rites Of Spring' etc) in this volume, perhaps as an appendix, as I enjoyed them even more than the serialised story of Center City, and they wouldn't provide enough pages to make a separate volume by themselves.
Apparently, Suydam has plans to continue the adventures of Cholly and Flytrap, so here's hoping that they will make an appearance in a future volume.
