Before hover parents, children ran wild. The wildest of these feral children were the Switchblade Shorties, operating as a kind of foul-mouthed, irreverent Our Gang: “Sodapop” Tanner, Pinky Winslow, Sheena Belvedere, “Charly Horse” Kinison and Foster Lambert. When their friend Petey Wheatcakes disappears, the Switchblade Shorties turn off their video games and try to find him. Instead, they encounter aliens, Bigfoot, werewolves, and more in this twisted ode to the 1990s - an era before the internet destroyed our imaginations.

Earlier this year, the comics world lost a singular unique voice with the untimely passing of Ed Piskor. To celebrate his life and legacy, his family are picking up where he left off. They have united together to release his final unpublished work, Switchblade Shorties, as a gorgeous hardcover that fans of Ed's work will not want to miss. Originally appearing as the backup strip Latchkey Kidz in Piskor's Red Room, the strip was retitled Switchblade Shorties when officially launched online as its own daily comic strip.

The landscape formatted 12x9 hardcover book contains over 176 pages of Ed Piskor at his best. The book is written, drawn, colored and lettered by Piskor alone. His family has taken great measures to make this release as special as possible and ensure that the book is being presented exactly as Ed had originally intended.

Piskor’s family has been instrumental in ensuring the legacy of Ed Piskor remains a vibrant one in the world of comics, and that his contributions will be remembered for a long time to come.

"Our family is pleased and honored to release Switchblade Shorties. Eddie’s passion for comics is really something to celebrate in this story. You can see the fun he had designing this book" - Bobby Piskor
