Stupor Video Portraits:
Join me as I visit THE HINTERLANDS at their performance space PLAY HOUSE. Learn about Love between a muffin and kale. The best neighborhood in Detroit. Last Evenings On Earth. Detectives unable to solve cases. Everyone’s dread bucket. The garage that blew up. And, of course, Meet Boo-boo Banana. Together, this crew built a new issue of Stupor. It’s called MY SECRET SICKNESS, and it’s scheduled for release at Hamtramck’s Book Suey, June 30, 2022!
