What if I told you there are no vampires in Texas? It's true! Legend has it was one of those rangers. Like they say: one riot, one ranger. What if I told you that there's watersands in Oklahoma that will devour a car overnight? Okay, sure, I tell you a lot of things. What if I told you a lot of the railroad was built by mutants created by a hot zone strain of syphilis? Or that there's an unreadable data disc in the Texas State Archives that can unravel the whole thing? It all happens in THE WORLD WEST! It's told in four interconnected stories written by John Ira Thomas (TIRE JUNE 2000, PAINGELS), and drawn by Will Beard (DAN CALLAHAN AND THE SAND PIRATES), Jeremy Smith (ZOO FORCE, NUMBERS: A Tale of Shades and Angels), Will Grant (LOST IN THE WASH), and Carter Allen (ECTYRON).

In 1978, John Ira Thomas was asked not to return to Sunday School because he drew what he'd learned that day. This picture sparked interest in the New Age/Metaphysical community, particularly TIRE Magazine. In 2000, John was asked to guest edit the probate-mandated final issue of TIRE to exact his revenge on the community that hounded him and derailed his life. Here now is that issue, reprinted for the first time anywhere with an additional essay by John Ira Thomas.

"A minute into the trees. You'll see." A dying mobster tries to make a trade with a life that is no longer his. The Fearsome Shade takes the life and the information, which leads him much further down the road than he expected. Crack the spine of a new take on an old tale. John Ira Thomas (Shades and Angels, Lost in the Wash) and Carter Allen (252-Z, Nikki Harris the Cybermation Witch) present again for the first time: Man Is Vox: Barracudae. With its original color sections restored, a new prologue and other added extras, this tale of revenge, redemption and revulsion returns to life.

"I'm a ghost. I haunt a laundromat. Know who empties the quarters? A ghost. Know who cleans the lint traps? A ghost." Darin's not the only one haunting the place; a snake made of water lurks among the washers, drinking the occasional customer dry and making the guy who runs the paintball/tattoo place suspicious. LOST IN THE WASH collects the complete comic series by John Ira Thomas and Will Grant.

A great hero has been pulled down by his own arrogance. It wasn't enough for him to help people. He felt he had to collect something for his trouble. He chose a citizen of the city he protected and made her pay the full price. Mr. Way and the Fearsome Shade put an end to that, but the Beacon's crimes are just the beginning.
