The Complete Adventures of Gonad Man: Volume One 1993 - 1999 Mark Sutherland

In response to popular demand, Mark Sutherland has finally re-released the complete and unedited original series of his cult Australian surf comic, The Adventures of Gonad Man. Described by Matt Warshaw in The Encyclopedia of Surfing (2003) as a "biting and intelligent surfing cartoon strip?", Gonad Man flipped the bird at the corporatisation of '90s surf culture and gave surfers a chance to laugh at themselves. With a foreword by Dave Parmenter, this must-have edition runs to over a hundred and thirty pages. It features all published episodes, from 1993-99, including the original, infamous 'Meaning of Life' poster, plus a bonus short story, The Tao of Surfing.
