Presenting a Three Issue
Mini-Series from Avatar Press

The most-read Internet comic columnist, Rich Johnston, is now serving up his all-new all-twisted humor series! Holed Up is a family sitcom with semi-automatic weaponry. Set in the separatist community of Idaho, the Holed family must cope with the ever encroaching invasion of a society that wants to take away their freedom. And they'll defend it with their lives if necessary. Or preferably the lives of other people. A black comedy where wholesome good fun meets the very worst aspects of humanity - a nuclear family at ground zero.

He has loyal readers in every comic shop in the world and not only will use that column to promote this comic, but also his media contacts on and offline. Prepare for an onslaught of attention.
