"... salvation
of the Australian comic industry is at hand and it comes in the form of
Pleasant Production's MODERN GENTLEMEN." - review of Issue #1, Digital
Retribution
"...
MODERN GENTLEMEN #2 is like a bad dream during a bad acid trip; but
this isn't necessarily a bad thing... extraordinarily depraved but
easily enjoyable for anyone with an offbeat sense of humour." - review of Issue #2, Fangoria
"...it is a joy to read. A disturbing joy, but a joy nevertheless." - review of Issue #2, Digital Retribution
"This
book is shit. It's like it's trying too hard to be controversial and
none of it works." - Marc, a comment posted on the Digital Retribution
interview
Modern Gentlemen is
an anthology horror/comedy comic series published and distributed by
Pleasant Productions. Each issue features work from a variety of
Australian writers and artists including Dave Jackson, Andrew
Gallacher, Pierre, Joe Coen, Jean-Luc Syndikas, Captain Gorgonzola and
Thomas Kinsman. The content of the comic is typical of Pleasant
Productions: puerile, immature, offensive and hopefully funny.
Issue 1 was released in late 2007 and spread throughout stores
nationally and internationally. It clocked in at 44 pages of black and
white madness with a colour cover by Andrew Gallacher. Issue 2
finally made it's way to the press in early 2009 and is currently
making the rounds at stores. Issue 2 welcomes the arrival of
writers Gorgonzola and Kinsman, and new artists Pierre and Joe Coen. It
also features special guest artist Ross Radiation. Pleasant
Productions considers issue 2 a massive leap in quality compared to the
first. If you like dirty jokes, questionable morals and foul mouthed
character, then this is the filthy rag is for you! Throw out your copies of Viz and go grab yourself an issue of Modern Gentlemen!
