About the Comic

Plague Ground tells the tale of the people of East Nettlesford, a fictional Boston quasi-urb (not quite nice enough to be a suburb) that contains an uneasy mix of types. There are the recent immigrants on the way up, blue collar townies who aren�t going anywhere and college students trying to save some of their rent money for beer.

The comic follows Mr. DiPatera, a second-rate reporter for fourth-rate local papers, and his cadre of twenty-something, slightly mutated-looking companions. There�s the depressed operator of the local public access television station, an entomologist (bug scientist) with a drinking problem and a freelance artist who runs a number of quasi-legal side businesses, to name a few.

Besides the central cast, there are class-baiting local politicians, sociopathic corporate suits, paranoid elderly, mad scientists looking for grant money, spacey pseudo-intellectuals, hardened criminals and Hitler�s zombie. The strip�s kind of like a shot of potato vodka. It may be bitter, but it�ll take your mind off of what�s bugging you.

So, come and visit the seedy little berg of East Nettlesford, where human life may be cheap, but so are the beers.

Visit the Plague Ground.
