"Zak Sally grabs you by the eyes and drags you headlong into a vision of earnest struggle and serial revelation."—Jim Woodring

"Sally is producing a real sharp, evocative and haunting work that manages to send a delicious chill up my spine."—Chris Mautner, Robot 6

The denizens of Zak Sally''s twisted Disneyland are back. Follow H.G. Feekes, Puppy Boy, Carl Urbanski, the Fish and Sammy the Mouse as they wander aimlessly, get excited about pie and fall into debilitating depression. Despite appearances to the contrary there''s a palpable quickening in the cartoon air. The random course of events begins to cohere and glimmers of a grand plan begin to emerge. Sammy The Mouse is cartoonist Zak Sally''s magnum opus.

Zak Sally is an Eisner nominated cartoonist, musician, educator, and publisher. After a long stint in the seminal band Low, Zak struck out on his own and founded La Mano, a small press dedicated to high quality hand-crafted print projects. He is the creator of the acclaimed and series Recidivist, which was collected by Fantagraphics as Like a Dog. Sammy the Mouse Vol. 1 was published last year. Zak lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with his wife and kids.

Industry Reviews

"Sammy Book 2 is a continuation of a meandering dream-narrative populated by distorted cartoon archetypes and id-wallowing personifications of Sally's manifold demons. [...] Shakily rendered in sickly browns and greens, the book swims in Schultzian ennui, Seussian grotesquery, and Sisyphian futility. But, you know, in a good way. For those who found out about Sally's graphic-novel work after being aware of his long tenure in the veteran indie-rock band Low, it makes Sammy The Mouse that much more haunting and perverse. The series stands on its own as a monument-in-progress to the chronic disease that is existence..."--Onion AV Club "Two things sit next to the crapper in our house: J.G. Ballard books and comics by Zak Sally."--Warren Ellis (Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, The Dirty Three) "Sammy the Mouse is... what I imagine it's like to have a nightmare about Oz when you live in Candyland. A ride to somewhere amazing."--Brian Evenson, author ofOpen Curtain, Immobility, Last Days "Sammy The Mouse Book 1 is a classic in the making, simultaneously funny, scary, and visionary."--The Onion
