Album cover

Title comes from something Rick said on a 1979 bootleg record, "Trick Or Treat".  This comic introduced me and the co-writer to CT, got us onto their tour bus and netted backstage passes. Until 2004, we never had to pay for a concert, thanks to comic books

As it is abundantly clear, everything was drawn entirely by hand, and very poorly lettered. I am glad for the advent of reasonably priced computers and art software.
 

 

 

 

The "production company" name is "Dyndod", a Welsh word meaning "manhood", which is what a certain someone who runs a fan club told us was what a certain guitarist liked to call his, well, "manhood". For some reason, this seemed outrageously hilarious at the time.
