I recall reading about Baldric in summer camp around 1974 or 75, but it was in Hardass Comix Number 1 (the camp counselor was from St. Louis). the last page featured “Superduperman”, where the clark kent character , on his way to change clothes while someone threatens to jump from a high ledge, runs in the a phone booth (remember those?) and finds a “fuck mag”, which gives him time “to give old Opie a good thrashing.” the suicide leaps, and lands right on the phone booth, and superduperman staggers out saying “sometimes my own masculinity never ceases to amaze me.”
any idea where I can buy it? my best man tried to get it for me as a wedding present but that was before google I guess.

I don’t have the Slow Death one you mentioned, but I do have Hitler’s Cocaine, some of Harold Hedd’s other adventures and a story he drew in Death Rattle.

It is really sad that he passed away a while ago. Some people I work with had the pleasure of hanging out with him. He sounded like a really great guy.

I discovered Holmes in the SLOW DEATH anthology with his really amazing Wally Wood riffs. His later “groundlevel” HITLER’S COCAINE is quite good, also! Features Harold Hedd. Sad to hear he died awhile back.

Yeah! This is just his earlier work too. I’m excited to get up his later stuff, mostly starring his character Harold Hedd.
