Perhaps best known as the writer/artist of the "Those Annoying Post Bros." comic book series, Matt Howarth has many outlets for his twisted creativity. And all of them are notoriously "strange".
From 1987 to 1994, Matt did a comic book series called "Savage Henry" (about the wacky adventures of a guitarist from an alternate reality). Most issues of this series featured authorized guest appearances by real musicians; among them: the Residents, Hawkwind, Moby, Ash Ra Tempel, Klaus Schulze, Nash the Slash, Foetus, Yello, Wire, Steve Roach, Richard Pinhas, Ron Geesin, David Borden, and more. Conrad Schnitzler (an original member of Tangerine Dream and Kluster) was a regular guest in this series and several graphic novels.

Eye this up!
Thanks so much for these gems you share! Other issues with other bands would be awesome too!
You know, I used to own these comics and they were simply awesome. He even had these 1-page album reviews (or was that 1 panel album review? I can't remember); I had a simple philosphy, back then: if Matt Howarth reviewed it in his comics, I was getting the album... Didn't always work that well, but it did allow me to discover Conrad Schnitzler, which was a revelation back then. Thanks for putting those comics up, looking forward to sifting through memory alley!
