MAGGOTS GN
by Brian Chippendale
Brian Chippendale, a founding member of the Fort Thunder collective (which includes Brian Ralph and Mat Brinkman ), as well as a celebrated poster artist and drummer for the extremely popular noise-duo, Lightning Bolt, has spent the past several years of his life filling page after page of his journals with cryptic, frenetic, shockingly dense comics. Currently at roughly 1,500 pages, Chippendale's work flows seamlessly from fantasy to reality, until all boundaries are eradicated and the reader is, willingly or not, drawn into his waking-nightmare world. Equal parts autobiographical adventures, anarchist rants, enviro-political diatribes, sexual fantasies and oddly enough, vegan recipes, Maggots is a challenging, powerful, brilliant work that is reminiscent of Jean Genet's Our Lady of the Flowers in its sheer intensity of emotion. Maggots is a 344-page section from Chippendale's journals.
