DANCING!! DRUGS!! DECEIT!!!ALL AT CONEY ISLANDSet amidst the chaos of a summer weekend at Coney Island, Undertow tells the story of Rhonda, a girl suddenly overwhelmed by events beyond her control. Her mother's alcoholism, her best friend's death...and now a social worker who's intent on making it all better. Only her brother seems to understand what she's going through, but even he doesn't think much of her plan to escape it all by finding a career. A story of finding your way in life and deciding who you are, Undertow takes the reader on a tour of a side of the 1950's that didn't make it into the romance comics: heroin, sex, and hopelessness, with a dash of nightclub dancing and swimming after curfew.

He comes when he is least expected. If you hear a knock at the door, you should fear the worst. But what happens if he just comes in and sits beside you at the counter? Or only wants to stroke the cat? As a travelling salesman dealing with the final matter, Kriebaum's little man in a black suit does not always seem happy with his own vocation. Wherever he appears, small talk plays a subordinate role. Soaring Penguin is proud to present the new english translation of the dark comedy Little Death, a comic by austrian artist Thomas Kriebaum. A smart and witty interpretation of the time old question of what would do if death came knocking at your door? Told in 14 beautiful stories. Buch's Little Death may be child-like in size, bur sports a smart black suit, a dashing cap and tinted glasses over his 'deathly' pale face. Along his journey to collect his due souls, we are transported from A Nighthawks styled dinner to various apartment complexes- meeting dramatic starlets, the familiar little old ladies - to the unsuspecting public just going about their errands.
