Death Rattle

A gritty, offbeat anthology from Kitchen Sink Press that ran for 18 issues from 1985 to 1988, Death Rattle blended horror, satire, and underground comix sensibility. Key talents like Mike Baron, Jaxon, and Eric Vincent contributed scripts, while artists Rand Holmes, Robert Burger, and Steve Bissette brought the unsettling visions to life. The series is notable for featuring the recurring character Omaha the Cat Dancer, weaving adult-themed storytelling into a broader tapestry of macabre and weird tales. It stands as a distinctive, boundary-pushing artifact of the mid-80s alternative comics scene.
