The World of Ginger Fox
by Mike Baron and Mitch O’Connell, originally published by Comico in 1986 as a 64-page graphic novel, is nothing short of stylish eye candy derived from the exciting nineteen eighties’ era of high hair, shoulder pads, and excesses of wealth.

Ginger Fox is presented anew beginning this week on the web pages of CO2 Comics.

The tale of romance, adventure and intrigue, set in the Hollywood of the mid-eighties featuring the smart, sexy and savvy Ginger Fox and a cast of strippers, martial artists, hit men, drug addicts, gat-toting bodyguards and celebrity cameos will be released in weekly installments and is available without fee or subscription as are all comics currently available at http://www.co2comics.com/pages/co2_comics.html.

One quick look at the credits of Mike Baron and Mitch O’Connell will give a good idea of what a treat to expect.

The Gutter | NON the Transcendental Extraterrestrial

NON

CO2 Comics is being invaded by creatures from outer space! Actually it’s a NON invasion. That’s right, NON the Transcendental Extraterrestrial! NON is the brilliant creation of our dear pal Chris Kalnick who is known in these parts by his work on Depth Charge which is actually a follow-up to the NON material that starts its run on CO2 Comics today.
NON made his first pilgrimage out of Chris’ inkwell in the Fall of 1985 and continued until the Winter of 1989/90. The strip was published as an ongoing series in Body, Mind & Spirit Magazine, The Monroe Institute Bulletin, and the holistic journal, Nexus of Denver, CO. Between the three publications, NON saw an estimated circulation of 200,000 and was distributed in most English speaking countries including South Africa.

Once you begin reading NON you will understand that this is a well thought out gem of existentialist ideas that will not only put a smile on your face because the art is so fun to look at and NON, himself, is just so darn lovable, but it will keep you awake at night beaming with the possibility that the human race may be much more than we ever considered.
NON is a unique comic creation deserving of recognition and we are happy to have it right here on CO2 Comics where we are determined to make our readers all True NON Believers!
Gerry G.
