"A surreal science fiction epic finally collected in one package. Gary Panter began imagining Dal Tokyo, a future Mars that is terraformed by Texan and Japanese workers, as far back as 1972, appropriating a friend's idea about "cultural and temporal collision" (The "Dal" is short for Dallas). Why Texan and Japanese? Panter says, "Because they are trapped in Texas, Texans are self-mythologizing."
"Collects the complete strips of a comic series that reflected a convergence between Texas and Japanese cultures, in an edition that offers insight into the creator's "ratty line" illustrations, wordplay, and non-sequiturs."
