The Harvey and Eisner nominated anthology of action, thrills, chills and trangression is back with a third volume! Anything goes in Hotwire, eschewing literary high-mindedness for a pure, gut-wrenching viscerality that you can tune in and rest your brain on after a long day.

Hotwire the third leaps off the page from the get-go with David Sandlins Infernal Combustion, about boozing it up in a broke-down caddy, and Tim Lanes bit of freight-hopping grit, Spike. Underground comics legend Mary Fleener returns with The Judge, a true tale about her own life fending off thugs with a .38! Meanwhile, Hotwire Captain Glenn Head spins the biography of German surrealist Hans Bellmer as a down and out Vaudevillian in decadent Weimar Berlin. R. Sikoryak turns in a brand new batch of "Masterpiece Comics", as Dennis the Menace stars in Hamlet! Other creepy delights: Rick Altergott delivers a fable of a child-molesting clown pleasuring himself in the suburbs, while Matti Hagelbergs Passion of Atte is a modern-day Dantes Inferno of comics.

Theres also more knockout work and crazy visuals by Mark Dean Veca, Johnny (Angry Youth Comix) Ryan, Mats?!, Max Andersson, Sam Henderson, Steve Cerio, Stephane Blanquet, Doug Allen, Michael (Tales Designed to Thrizzle) Kupperman, Danny Hellman, Mack White, David Paleo, Chadwick Whitehead, Onsmith, Karl Wills and Jayr Pulga. Looking for laffs? A psychic jolt? A partner for your next trip? Look no further than Hotwire!

Yes, please pardon the meow.

I don't mean to be a downer, but if this book was bound in China, one might as well be prepared to "catch pages" a couple of years down the road. Old Blabs have me shufflin' and moanin'.

A book with a krazy kat-sound?... Whatever! I like it!
