THE NEARLY INFAMOUS ZANGO
by Rob Osborne

An ongoing, bi-monthly comic book series from creator Rob Osborne and published by Absolute Tyrant.

From Issue 1 | 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

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."

—Brian Domingos | PopImage.com

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."

—Dorian Wright | PostModernBarney.com

"...A compelling and unusual story for the comics format..." 9/10

—Don MacPherson | TheFourthRail.com

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

—Brian Wood | writer of DMZ, Northlanders, and Local

—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!"
