Presenting Squeak the Mouse, the missing pop cultural link among Tom and Jerry, Ren and Stimpy, and The Simpsons' Itchy and Scratchy! In these underground comics from the early '80s, penned by legendary Italian cartoonist Massimo Mattioli, the classic rivalry of cat and mouse is charged with a perverse and anarchic energy.

Laying full-on slasher horror onto wacky cartoon violence, Mattioli's characters embark on a sadistic bloodthirsty rampage, leaving a trail of mangled corpses in their wake. And the comic's gratuitous bloodshed is merely a warm-up to its raunchy humor and over-the-top sexcapades. In sum, a tour de force of unrelenting mayhem, rendered in clean line art and dazzling pastel colors.

Rarely accessible in the United States due to its transgressive content-even seized and deemed "obscene" by US customs in 1985-this cult classic comic series is finally collected for the first time in its entirely for American readers!
