All Pete lives for is to deliver mail but his Boss fears him, hates him and sends him to neighborhoods that will kill him.
These are the first five issues of Pete that drew raves from Previews, Comic Retailer, Wizard, Comic Buyers Guide and Postal Workers nationwide.
You get a full 142 pages of art that will make you respect your local postal worker, if not fear them. Going Postal is what Pete does on a good day.
The explosive first issue finds Pete relegated to mail sorting to keep him away from the public. A postal worker gets shot when a gang robs him the day Social Security Checks are delivered. NO ONE wants to take over the route, yet the Mail-Must-Go-Through (Based on an actual occurrence in Washington DC). Pete is the only one who will take it and he hits the streets after years of sorting mail. What happens next is all the mail gets delivered, but the gang, a pit bull, and miscellaneous other incidences results in Pete's incarceration in a maximum security prison. In Issue 2 his incarceration is short lived, as are the lives of fellow inmates. He scares the inmates to much so he gets back on the streets for unforgettable deliveries to a militia group, terrorists and carnivorous invading aliens escaping from Roswell, New Mexico. They are also obstructing mail service which makes Pete very, VERY ANGRY. It takes both issue 3 & 4 to finish them all off. Issue 5 finishes with a well-deserved vacation in England, replete with girlfriend, heartbreak, Knighthood, and an international incident. Says Previews Small Press Snapshot, "Imagine Quentin Tarantino directing Il Postino."
Going Postal is what Pete does on a Good Day, on a bad day ... You don't want to know.
Great gift to give that United States Post Office USPS, Postal Worker to take the edge off his day.

About the Author
His second book was an environmental effort, Hunting For Lawyers, which proposed a hunting season for lawyers to reduce the herds to a manageable size. Then it was on to The Adventures of Liberal Man and Pete the P.O.d Postal Worker comics as he digressed back to an adolescent state. With Madonna and Bill Clinton as media worthy for this generation, it was only natural that Meletons satire has garnered a huge amount of coverage including USA Today, The Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, Dallas Morning News, San Francisco Examiner and The Washington Times.
Meleton lives in Southern California and is the father of Brittany and Marcus III, and the obnoxious husband of his lovely wife Marjorie.
