Lorenz Peter's Chaos Mission is one fantastic bad trip. Following a pair of ill-starred rockers from their high-school days in Fort McMurder, Alberta, through a series of headily narcotic binges and purges in Toronto and Vancouver, Peter's comic treats his readers to an acid-realist account of the ugly underside of our urban subcultures. His hero, Lawd, is a would-be artist and musician whose dreams are constantly thwarted by a series of bad friends, worse strokes of luck, and heroin binges. At least his life is interesting--Chaos Mission is full of hilarious (and, sometimes, moving) shaggy dog stories involving a clutch of perfectly absurd characters, like the ex-hippie beer-wizard Sperman Pajama; Rio, a Joe Strummer look-alike and Christian fundamentalist; and Zeus, an obese Albertan lout with a penchant for keeping a lit cigarette in each ear.
Lawd's misadventures are drawn in a style that is sometimes slovenly lo-fi, sometimes elegant and minimalist, and always slightly hallucinatory. Peter's characters lack all direction in life, and sometimes this makes the narrative suffer just a little--it's very hard for a story to go somewhere when its characters are going nowhere. Having said that, Chaos Mission still manages to be consistently engrossing. Comics are the perfect medium for flights of queasy punk nostalgia, and Peter gets his mixture of nausea, humour, and horror exactly right. --Jack Illingworth
Product Description
Comix guru Lorenz Peter is one of the most prolific and consistentlyworthwhile artists around. Peter's comix portray disenfranchised kids doingwhat comes naturally---smoking hash, having sex and talking endlessly. But instead of presenting a stagnant slacker lifestyle (which makes for dull reading), Peter...offers a variety of perspectives...Both art and narrative are reminiscent of Julie Doucet's juicily detailed technique. --- Joanne Huffa, eYe Weekly
