[cover]	[back cover]	[Pallbearers]	[Vanishing Post]

Issue #1 is a 28 page, 8.5x11, b&w comic-zine with a full-color, painted cover.

It features two comic stories and some offbeat book, film, comic, and zine reviews.

"There is nothing else quite like this book. Drastic Lives features superior concept, design, and production values for an independent comic . . . audacious, art-propelled comic stories."   --Previews

The intro story, Pallbearers, is a quick questioning of roles at a funeral
Written and  illustrated by Timothy Buie.

The main story, Vanishing Post, is the frenetic account of Simone's quest to buy a 1970 Plymouth Superbird, and what happens when she does. Written by Janet Real, illustrated by Timothy Buie.

Vanishing Post, continues with Simone, Cathy, and Bud--and a broken down Superbird--in the middle of nowhere. Written by Janet Real, illustrated by Timothy Buie.

The second story, Does Surrealism Belong in Traditional Fallwellian-Clitorist Thought?, is a quirky, sexy story featuring a disembodied gas mask, a girl, and a mystery guest. Written and illustrated by Mordent.

There is also the new (DyKes TiRe SeRviCe) lesbian media review column, and the (un)usual book, film, comic, and zine reviews.
 

[cover]	[Bullets & Bathrobes]

Bullets and Bathrobes is the latest chapter in the life of Simone and Cathy, etc. With the Superbird in the shop, and a hangover from decades old moonshine and Jack Daniels, what will the day be like?
Written by Janet Real, illustrated by Timothy Buie.

Does Surrealism.... continues in a longer segment.
Written and illustrated by Mordent.
