Wanted: Sam and Max: Freelance Police
Hiep Huu Nguyen
I am looking for some comics. Please email me at hi...@cs.utexas.edu.
Does anyone know of the comic Sam and Max: Freelance Police by Steve
Purcell back in the late 80's. there was a special that came out from
Comico and one from Fishwrap productions. I know there is also a
graphic novel, but i don't know the name of it. Well i called all the
comic book stores here in Austin Texas, and none of them have it. If
any of you guys can give me a pointer to where i can get a hold of any
of these back issues, it would be way cool on your part! For those of
you who have never read Sam and Max, i highly recommend it. These
books are highly dark humor, crazy zany actions: the for-runners of
Rin and Stimpy. Thanks very much to you all.

or anything else besides the Comico version (which I
have and don't wish to sell), please contact me as well.
I'd also like to point out that Steve Purcell works for
Lucas Arts and was responsible for them doing a Sam & Max
computer game (now available in full-talky version on CD ROM)
that is absolutely hilarious. Very true to the comic. If
you like Sam & Max and you like graphic adventure games,
you owe it to yourself to get the game.

1. Fishwrap Productions B&W comic
2. Comico color comic
3. Epic color comic - reprints a colorized version of the Fishwrap story plus
some other stuff
I also read an announcement for something from Epic called "Sam and Max go
to the Moon". Was this the Sam and Max comic that was polybagged with
Sassy's Dirt#1, or was that the Epic reprint book? Was it even published?
Obviously, anyone who can confirm the existence of a fourth S&M need to
post here immediately.
BTW, Sam & Max one-pagers appear frequently in Computer Gaming World
magazine. I seldom look at it on the stands but sometimes remember to
check it out.

Yes, it was published and came out polybagged with Dirt and some sort of
sampler cassette. I was really tempted to collect up the discarded copies
of the magazine and send them back to Marvel suggesting that they should
keep their dirt to themselves.

OK, I'm doing that.

True Sam & Max fans will also seek out:
Grim Jack #52 with "Fair Wind to Java" (Right, Glenn?)
Sam and Max T-shirt. (someone got one signed for me at SDCC. So, Ha!)
Sam and Max Cloisonne Pins (Two pins: Sam and Max and just Sam)
Sam and Max "Protected by..." shield sticker
If you love Sam and Max, also check out Purcell's "Toy Box" in Fast Forward
#2 from Piranha Press. I believe one poster described it as "insidious."
OK, I've done my good deed for the day. Perhaps I'll go home and
play some fizzball. Wonder if I have any cheap, evil smelling beer.

Ayup. Close to me heart, that one is. :-) It's in the Color special
as well, though.

The whole Fast Forward series rocks, IMO. Lots of great stuff,
including a bit by Kyle Baker in #2 with Zombies and everything!
Toybox is actually in #3 along with an actual Epicurus the Sage
installment! And the McKean/Morrison story is in #1, plus other good
stuff in all 3 of 'em, terribly unappreciated series considering how
great it was, IMO.

I do, I'll be over in a minnit.... Oops, hold the phone, the
watch-lizard got into it. Take a rain check? No, no, stay outta' the
Mink, Bob!
See ya' at the Bucket,

There is also a Sam and Max computer game. I can't remember
the manufacturer but the graphics (its for DOS) are fantastic.
The game is definitely in the spirit of the comics.
