Closing in on the last of my Plastic Farm stack.Title: Plastic Farm
Issue: #18
Date: 2010
Publisher: Plastic Farm Press
Writer: Rafer Roberts
Artist: Rafer Roberts, Chris Piers, Dale Rawlings
Two stories with bits of framing sequence. First up, Elaine tells the tale of the day the next door neighbor died. The next door neighbor with all the animals. And the library. And the secret passage and the hidden laboratory. The fun of this story is Elaine's inability to communicate what she is seeing coupled with Chris Piers' illustrations which let the reader in on the secrets that Elaine is failing to get across to her own audience.
The second story is a creepy little bit of urban mythology involving a dancing statue of Jesus in a cemetery somewhere in New Jersey. Dale Rawlings does a nice job with the illustration for this one.
As always with Plastic Farm, half the fun is figuring out how these disjointed pieces fit into the overall jigsaw puzzle.
Rating: 7.5/10
