The much anticipated first collection by up-and-coming-new-comics-champ, Kevin Huizenga is at last on our shelves.  Its arrival may, however, signal the end of Huizenga's status as an up-and-comer, and initiate his ensconsement in the ranks of established contemporary masters of comics.  This volume brings together a wide range of Huizenga's work from a wide variety of sources.  It starts off with a little known (well, not to long time Copacetic customers) gem from the Orchid anthology published by Sparkplug Comics, titled, "Green Tea."  It is adapted from a classic Victorian horror story of the same name by Sheridan Le Fanu, but is given the inimitable Huizenga treatment and stands as an original work.  Following this there is:  the trilogy that first appeared in Drawn and Quarterly Showcase #1; almost the entirety of the now out of print first issue of Huizenga's ongoing solo title, Or Else; a 2-pager originally done for Time Magazine; and the full color story, "Jeepers Jacobs," originally executed for Kramers Ergot 5.  Anyone not already familiar with these works is heartily encouraged to consider this a great opportunity to read some excellent comics delivered in a fine package for a reasonable price.  If you're looking for comics by Huizenga, and you haven't already purchased these works in their original manifestations, then this is the book for you!  

Originally published in 2006, this orignal hardcover edition of Curses is long out of print.

Right now we have ONE new, but slightly shelf worn copy  of this original 2006 hardcover in stock – complete  with the back cover wraparound "blurb band" with UPC and price still intact and attached (the thing that Seth is always kindly requesting that readers remove after purchasing).

>> BUT, also, please note:  in 2023 Curses was reissued in a spiffy new softcover edition with 40 pages of bonus material, HERE!
