Here it is, at long last, the official, fully-fledged comic book edition of Matt Vituccio’s Negative X!  In its 24 black & white pages, readers will discover solid comics storytelling – formally traditional and attitudinally underground/alternative – by a developing cartoonist who has the chops to pull it off.  In the tradition of Crumb (Vituccio's character, Joe Pepper, could be seen as the love child of Crumb's Mr. Natural and Flakey Foont, which makes for an intriguing character!), GRiffith, Clowes, Matt, Brunetti, et al – and with an accent on surrealism – these comics work through the negativity induced by living through the problematic spaces of contemporary life.
