The Comics of Alex Major (1281 words)
Alex Major's comics are like that, which makes them a bit of a bugger to review, but I'll do my best.
Alex is a Sydney artist who first appeared in 1999 with Quay-Line, the sort-of-adventures of Naomi, a hotel receptionist kidnapped by a Hungarian limo driver in order to save the world (whether or not the world actually needs saving is a different matter).
None of them have numbers -- the first was published at normal comic size, whereas the second (subtitled 'it's where goats come from') is actually a reprint of half of the first.
