ABOUT HEY APATHY! ALTERNATIVE COMICSHEY APATHY! BOOK ONE 36 pages, black and white original alternative comics. The city is a giant gear propelled by all the strange and unique characters spiralling through it! As the denizens perpetuate their endless routines, a mass technological epidemic hypnotically spreads through out the busy cycles. Technological tentacles are assimilating mankind! Wires are replacing facings, machines attach them selves to heads, and tendrils can be found penetrating outwards many orifices. As one such monstrosity attempts to annihilate a certain gingival, an unexpected retaliation occurs.Fighting back with aggressive immunity towards the mechanized plague, this one insignificant cog person smashes his way out from the onslaught. Through his defiant initiations the anonymous business man transforms into a superhuman and rises above the infected crowds. Wearing an eyeballed cape, this tiny hero is instantly recognised and forced into conflict with three Gigantic Billboard Robots! HEY APATHY! BOOK ONE is the first chapter of this cross genre anthology of strange, metaphorical, and auto biographical adventures. The entire fantasy is told from my perspective as a professional street artist and performer. The parables simultaneously explore the fantastical chaos of monstrous metropolis while connecting them with my true life experiences, observations and dubious concern. HEY APATHY! Is a surreal mixture of comic book dreams and our concrete and tangible urban existence. BETWEEN SUPERHEROES AND THE UNDERGROUNDHEY APATHY! comics are a concomitant amalgamation of both mainstream imagery and underground ideologies. The stories feature popular icons including superheroes, samurai, monsters, and robots, yet present the adventures in a unusual and metaphorical manner. In Book One a symbolically stereotypical tale of superheroes fighting robots is used as a vessel for an curious fable. The superhuman rises in resistance to a mass assimilation of mankind by unexplainable technological monstrocities. The moment his individual actions are detected, he is attacked by three Giant Billboard Robots. Whilst retaining an engrossing pace and dealing with the fantasy worlds associated eith tradition comic books, the story secretly questions the nature of commercial homogenization and the increasingly difficult task of being oneself. The goal of this alchemic concoction is a book that while suitable for young audiences, remains intellectually provocative to the learned reader. Plus it’s got some really cool pictures in it!
