23 Skidoo is a mini-comic originally published in 1994 for a cover price of $1.00. Written in 1993 and 1994, this new publication marks the 23rd anniversary of this mini-comic by Al Columbia. At 24 pages with very little dialogue, 23 Skidoo is something you can run through in a pair of minutes or really look at for dozens of minutes. It's as graphic as the 1990s were, with its grunge music and its strip clubs. Disturbing and haunting, 23 Skidoo is an excellent reprint.
In fact, this title makes me want to learn more about Al Columbia. The clerk at my local Comics N' Stuff said that he'd get other stuff by Al Columbia if I liked 23 Skidoo, and I think I'll take him up on that, although Columbia's stuff is notoriously hard to find at a reasonable price. The Biologic Show, Issue #1 runs for around $200 these days. Anyway, I rarely regret buying mini-comics, and this is no exception.
