Description:

Barney the Dinosaur. The Fruit of the Loom Guys. Mayor McCheese. The San Diego Chicken. They've all paid their dues. But the costumed entertainment game can be a tough racket, and sometimes you've got to crawl up from the muck to make it to the top. Welcome to the muck – River City, home to Division 18 of the Union of Novelty Costumed Performers. Follow Jimmy, a wise-cracking thug in an 8-foot snake suit, and his misfit mascot mafia as they try to get a leg up on the man and make an honest (and sometimes dishonest) buck. This book has comedy. It has violence. And yes, it has a monkey. Three issues of costumed chaos begin here!

Description:

All three issues of Division 18: The Union of Novelty Costumed Performers (plus extras) are collected in this trade paperback, including the never-before-released issues 2 and 3, and bonus content.

You met the crew in issue 1, and in issue 2, Lou's still fat, Monkey's still a chimp, and Snake is angrier than ever. After the five hunnies fiasco, Snake sticks it to Boss Tony by going corporate. Dress code violations abound as the epic Division 18 trilogy continues!

Then, in issue 3, Division 18's newest hire digs up the dirt on the rest of the crew, revealing the SHOCKING! AMAZING! FURRY! origins of the Union. Matt Bergin steps all over regular artist Jeremy Donelson's toes by penciling a story about lovable Lou's earlier career as a pro wrestler, while Josh Adams lends his pencil to tell the story of Quackers' secret celebrity in the furry convention scene. And if you thought Snake was miserable now, wait until you meet him as a child!

It's all contained within the pages of the Division 18 TPB, coming soon and now available for pre-order.
