About this title

Synopsis

Suburban Metal Dad, Compendium One: Raging Bullsh*t collects Years III and IV of the terrible webcomic by D.X. Ferris. Metal Dad grew up listening to Megadeth and raging against the machines. But now he's older, he has a family, and he needs to harmoniously exist with the people around him. So he can't punch his pinhead boss when he wants to. And he usually wants to. Some of the comics are gag-a-day strips. Some are episodes from multi-part storylines. Some are single panels. Some are esoteric (read: poorly written pop-culture references). Sometimes they're bitter. Sometimes they have heart. Sometimes they're running bits. Some are random ideas that have nothing to do with anything. Sometimes they're metal. But they all have a low-tech punk-rock quality (or lack thereof). You're pissed, but you know you got it good. This is the struggle. This is Suburban Metal Dad. Compendium One features 162 black & white comic strips, eight even-worse demo strips, an updated SMD FAQ, a foreword, and a true-life Metal Dad story (so there's stuff to read too, in addition to stick figures and sloppy lettering).

About the Author

D.X. Ferris is a metal dad. He is a father of two, husband of one, and author of two books about Slayer. But he is not the metal dad depicted in Suburban Metal Dad: Compendium One. Granted, he has worked with numerous pinhead bosses and entitled hipsters. Peanuts, Batman, and heavy metal are among the few things that have relentlessly held Ferris' attention since he first encountered them in his youth. After years of writing about other people's art, he decided criticism was essentially a sneaky endeavor, and he got in the game. Ferris is a black belt, motivational writer, teacher, and award-winning journalist who runs a side trade in goofy crap. Learn more at SuburbanMetalDad.com and SlayerBio.com. The Suburban Metal Dad comic strip runs every Monday and Friday at Popdose(.com).
