Mack the Knife- The cartoon cult character in comic book format.

MACK THE KNIFE

The Cartoon Noir cult classic by Starlen Baxter and Bill Widener!

Tex Avery fans...rejoice! Mack the Knife appeals to the same slapstick and entertaining style of Avery with a caustic side not seen in the cartoons. A cartoon Shark, Mack is the meanest badass in animated celluloid.

It's an incredible world where cartoon characters co-exist with the normal population. Mack the Knife is a star that is on the downside of his career. He's rude, nasty, and a typical star trying to find out what everything is about.

MONOCHROME MEMORIES-ONE SHOT

The King of Cartoon Noir returns! A full 32 pages of riotous slapstick featuring the cult favorite. Four short stories in this issue including "Lucky Nickel" where the big spending Mack cops a five center which is somebody’s lucky nickel and they’ll do anything to get it back. In "Late for the Fete", Mack is honored at a film festival and asked…make that paid, to give a speech. But Mack has more important things on his mind, like how to collect the dough with out giving his testimonial. "Moderne to Burn" deals with Mack facing the studio’s decision to focus on the true star of the cartoons, the obnoxious Timmy the Toddler. Can Mack’s ego handle the demotion? Not likely.

In addition to the afore mentioned stories which appeared in various issues of Caliber Presents in the last few years, there will be an all new story never before printed, "Jukin’". This original piece takes place with Mack and his pal, Demolition Duck reminiscing about some of the great scenes from their cartoons. Just how out of hand can things get?
