Uncle Steve comes for a visit, brings his own refreshments and is only too happy to share with Dave. This was probably at a '92 tour stop somewhere. It's difficult to tell by the décor. We were in a different city every other weekend for the whole year and it all sort of blended together. Steve Bissette was promoting his horror anthology Taboo (see cover insert) and there's a Tundra logo on the neck of the bottle, so that should narrow down the time-frame. I'm not trying to be historically accurate here; I just wanted to share some fun photos.
As a comics-artist, Steve Bissette is best known for his collaboration with Alan Moore and John Totleben on DC Comics' Swamp Thing in the 1980s, as well as his own self-published Tyrant. As editor of Taboo (1988-1992), he published the first serialised appearances of From Hell (by Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell), Lost Girls (by Alan Moore and Melinda Gebbie) and the still-born Sweeney Todd (by Neil Gaiman and Michael Zulli).
