The Bud Plant Incredible Catalog is published 3 times a year. These 248-page monsters cover everything from the upper levels of the underground to mainstream comic art. The first copy is three bucks (redeemable on your first order) and then continuously as long as you keep ordering from them. They also send smaller update catalogs every couple of months. Many of the comics included in Beyond Cyberpunk! are available through Bud Plant. The service is prompt, the calls are toll-free, and your comics come tightly wrapped in protective paper. Bud Plant also carries lots of adult comics and how-to art books. You definitely should be on their mailing list.

Here is the TEXT POPUP for Bud Plant Catalog...
We find Concrete to be one of the best-written and most thought-provoking comics around today. So do a great many comics pros, such as Harlan Ellison.
Hard Times
Howard Chaykin
This reprints the first three issues of American Flagg in graphic novel format. Hard Times throws Reuben Flagg, former TV star and stand up comic, into the urban tumult of the Chicago Plexmall, a crassly commercialized center of postmodern excess. Flagg grudgingly becomes the law in a city of TV crazed "gogangs," heavily armed poli-clubs, and terrorist groups. Is he the man to put this all back together? Chaykin's finest work, filled with thrills, chills, eroticism, and adventure.
Recommended. Adult Material.
