PLYMPTON HOMEPAGE

HAIR HIGH
Bill Plympton
Here’s Plympton’s next feature-length animated movie in preparation: a goofy take-off on ‘50's teen horror movies replete with bouffant hairdos and dead teens returning as avenging skeleton zombies! The local soda jerk manager relates the tale of Cheri and Spud, the most unlikely couple you can imagine. One is the queen of the prom, the other a nerd who screws up on her so bad he has to become her slave. With more lunatic reversals than you can shake a plymptoon at, it turns out Cheri gets closer to Spud and loses her football hero boyfriend but with rather tragic consequences. Don’t miss this graphic novel premiere of Plympton’s next feature!
"A book that almost anyone with a good sense of humor can enjoy." -Greg McElhatton, IComics
"So insane you think its author should be committed." -Comic Book Resources
"Hair High is destined to take its place among other stories in this genre as one of the best." -GrayHaven Magazine Online
"A-. Unabashedly sophomoric, Plympton keeps the punchlines coming non-stop and displays such an infectious enthusiasm for digging for jokes that the viewer can't help but laugh at the results." -Comics Buyers Guide
"Plympton's one of the crowning delights of independent animated film. Guess what? Showing no compunctions about offing even major characters, Plympton blows a ton of high-school cliches into the stratosphere." -Booklist
"Such scenes as a science teacher literally hacking up his guts and the rampages of a lust-fueled sports mascot convey Plympton's trademark comic assault on reality." -Asimov's

	MUTANT ALIENS Bill Plympton Animation cartoonist extraordinaire Bill Plympton joins the NBM line-up with a graphic novel advance look at his next goofy feature-length animated film! An astronaut’s mission goes awry and he’s figured forever lost until, years later, his daughter spots him on a telescope on his way back to Earth with a ship full of aliens and vengeance on his mind. Yes, vengeance, as the truth is out! Corporate bigwigs wanted his mission a failure! Our valiant (and now rather hirsute) astronaut unleashes the aliens on an aghast humanity! "Hilarious! Reads like a highly detailed film story board, leaving the reader with the impression of having witnessed the artist in the midst of the creative process." -PUBLISHERS WEEKLY "Plympton's hyperkinetic animated films provoke the laughter of astonishment at seeing the impossible imaginatively realized. Will offend those who want to be offended while amusing aficionados of ludicrous vulgarity." -BOOKLIST For mature audience 6X9, 192pp., B&W, color cover, trade pb.: $10.95 ISBN 1-56163-236-8 Previews
