SDF: The Great Race is now Available!
SDF: The Great Race is now Available! Hm. That was a bit redundant. Anyway, the latest (and at least one person has said, greatest) issue of SDF is now available from TORC Press. It can be acquired online at www.torcpress.com/comicshop.html. Or, if you dig on the snail mail approach, send a check or money order for $2.50 plus $1.50 S&H to:

This issue is a little different than its predecessors. For starters, you might have noticed it's only $2.50, instead of $5. That's because this issue is only 24 pages, instead of the usual 48. Half the pages, half the price. Also, previous issues have been multi-story anthologies. This issue contains only one, full length story.
So, what's "The Great Race" about? The plot is simple. The various characters of the TORCverse gather together for a Downhill Soapbox Derby style race. Winner gets a trophy. That's it. The plot is pretty much irrelevant. The point of the story is how much mayhem can occur during a downhill race when you've got such a diverse cast of characters, including Cactus Joe, Walt & Sped, El Gorio, and aliceislost, among others, going at it. It's really just 24 pages of pure unadulterated silliness crammed into an issue. It's my loving homage to the Hannah-Barbera cartoons of my youth, especially Wacky Races and Laff-a-Lympics. Highly recommended for anyone with a sense of humor.
Oh, there is one problem with the book that I wanna get out in the open. Due to a printing glitch, there are two pages that are very light. They're still readable, but it's obvious they look kinda crummy. I personally don't think it really takes away from the issue, but it's something that I didn't wanna hide or lie about.
