Hothead Paisan Homicidal Lesbian Terrorist s/c back

Hothead Paisan, a murderous icon of the '90s LGBTQ+ comics scene, comes roaring back into print in this fresh edition (including a new interview and supplemental materials) of one of the funniest, sharpest, and most unexpectedly warm comics of the late twentieth century, still as shocking today as it was more than two decades ago. Diane DiMassa's Hothead starts out in a murderous frenzy-taking out a variety of everyday chauvinists and creeps-but soon deepens into a reflection on oppression, self-destruction, and living it up outside the conservative norms of the '90s. Hothead's rage is sometimes tempered with the help of Thing #2, her defensive inner demon; Roz, her friend who offers Zen wisdom and tough love; and Chicken, her cat and constant companion. This collection includes a new interview with DiMassa along with a selection of fan mail and other materials that shed light on Hothead's vast underground following. At last, the most thoughtful homicidal maniac is back in print.
