 THE
NEARLY INFAMOUS ZANGO
by Rob
Osborne
An ongoing, bi-monthly comic
book series from creator
Rob Osborne and
published by
Absolute Tyrant.
Lord Alfred Zango, Jr. was once the most
feared super villain in Metrotown. He razed entire blocks, crushed super
heroes beneath his heel. Now he's just a malcontent couch potato. In bunny
slippers and bathrobe, Zango gorges himself on junk food and fumes over
the attention other super-baddies receive. Too lazy to leave
the house, Zango sends a gorilla assassin to eliminate his competition!

SUNSET CITY: For Active Senior Living
by Rob Osborne
Sunset City is a typical
retirement community. Its residents enjoy golf and gossip and they all
seem content to fritter away their golden years. Except Frank McDonald. A
retired widower, he wrestles with the question: Why am I here? Reading the
newspaper, Frank keeps up on the minutiae of the day; it provides a buzz
to an otherwise humdrum life. One morning, Frank is overcome by a
startling story, and he does something extraordinary: He takes life
by the balls.

Best Writer/Artist of
2005
"Rob Osborne is everything
that's right about comics."

Favorite Graphic Novel Of
2005
"Sunset
City is an accomplished, multi-layered work, and it's
depth and skill is remarkable for being only Osborne's second comic.
It's remarkable, and I'm at a loss to think of another recent comics
work that has prompted so much thought and reflection on my part. I
not only strongly recommend it, but would even suggest that a look
at it is essential for anyone interested in comics as an artform."

"...A compelling and unusual
story for the comics format..."

"Sunset City
is a great piece of short fiction."

1000 STEPS TO WORLD DOMINATION

"1000 Steps to
World Domination is the greatest example ever of how to take a
very simple idea and transform it into a piece of comedy gold to be
quoted and cherished for years to come."
Augie De Blieck,
Jr. | Comic Book Resources
"Monty Python has
an American cousin. Osborne manifests the same propensity for
attempting the improbable by means of the ridiculous that propelled
the Pythons to the pinnacle of comedic renown. But the heck with
comedic renown. Osborne wants world domination. Marvelously
demented!"
